What We Do

Walking alongside children rebuilding their lives

KidsOut is a national children’s charity supporting children and young people affected by domestic abuse.

Every year, thousands of children and young people are forced to leave everything behind to escape domestic abuse. Many arrive at a refuge and safe accommodation carrying little more than the clothes they are wearing, having experienced events that no child should ever have to endure. While reaching safety is a vital first step, the impact of abuse often continues long afterwards. As they begin to rebuild their lives, many face ongoing emotional, psychological, and practical challenges and need the right support to recover and look ahead with confidence.

Working alongside refuges, outreach, and community services across the UK, KidsOut aim to ensure children and young people affected by domestic abuse have access to the opportunities, experiences, and support they need to thrive.

We support children and young people on their journeys, through toys, opportunities for play, food and essential items; recycled educational devices, therapeutic experiences, and improvements to refuge environments, we create moments of joy, restore a sense of normality, and help children look to the future with hope.

Creating Fun & Happiness

Each year we take thousands of children out for fun days and experiences

From wellbeing workshops, theme parks and even a trip to the cinema, all our Fun Days provide children with new and happy memories to cherish and more importantly something to look forward to.

Toys & Toy Boxes

Without KidsOut, many children would have no new toys of their own

We create moments of joy through toy boxes on arrival at the refuge and at Christmas.

Real Stories. Real Impact.

Every day, we hear from parents, refuge staff, and children whose lives have been touched by KidsOut.

Their stories remind us that even the simplest acts of kindness, a toy, a day out, a food voucher, or a laptop, can make a lasting difference. They offer moments of joy, restore hope, and remind children and families that they are valued, supported, and never alone.
