About the company
KidsOut are a UK national charity dedicated to providing fun and happy experiences to disadvantaged children. Each year more than 20,000 children flee domestic abuse to seek sanctuary in refuge. Typically leaving home with only the clothes on their back, these children have experienced physical, emotional, and even sexual abuse and arrive at refuge with nothing. In collaboration with Women’s Aid, partner charities and corporate supporters, KidsOut works to remind these children and thousands of others living with disadvantages what it is like to be children and just have fun. KidsOut believe that every young person has a right to happiness, and through this life-changing work KidsOut plays a key role in shaping the future members of the society for the better, by providing a happy memory to look back on, something to look forward to, and the hope for a better future.
