KidsOut is a charity dedicated to supporting some of the UK’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable children with positive and happy experiences. Each year, we help bring smiles to the faces of over 200,000 children by way of day trips, fun experiences, toys, and books for those who might otherwise have none.
In collaboration with the Women’s Aid Federation refuge and over 100 independent refuges, KidsOut supports approximately 20,000 children a year who, with their mothers, have fled domestic violence to seek safety in refuges and safe houses.
The children will have either witnessed or experienced emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse and will usually arrive in refuge with no more possessions than the clothes they are wearing. KidsOut provides these children with a box of age- and gender-appropriate brand-new toys and books to help them transition into their new homes.
Â
KidsOut is the only organisation in the UK to give every child in refuge the opportunity to receive Toys and Days Out.
The funds donated by North East Escapes go directly towards supporting KidsOut in the North East of England.
