KidsOut – The Fun & Happiness Charity
Providing positive experiences for some of the UK’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
1 in 5 children are estimated to have been exposed to domestic abuse during their childhood*
Last year alone, 25,000 children were supported in specialist domestic abuse safe accommodation services*
Many of these children and young people arrive with few or no personal belongings, having had to leave home suddenly to stay safe.
They may have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse directly, or have lived with domestic abuse in their home. Many are living with the lasting effects of these experiences and need the time, support, and opportunities to recover and rebuild their lives.
In collaboration with refuges, outreach and community services across the UK, KidsOut works to ensure that these children and young people have access to the opportunities, fun experiences, and support they need to thrive in a world where domestic abuse never defines a child’s future.
How we help children and young people on their journey:
A Child’s Perspective
– the support KidsOut provides.
What we do
KidsOut supports children and young people affected by domestic abuse to access the opportunities, experiences, and support they need to thrive.
Creating Fun & Happiness
We create moments of joy through toys, play, fun days and memorable experiences that help children make happy memories and simply enjoy being children.
Providing Essential Support
We provide practical support to meet children’s immediate needs, helping families in refuge through difficult times. This includes providing food vouchers to help families access essential groceries, reducing financial pressure and ensuring children have access to the basics they need while rebuilding their lives in safety.
Enabling Learning & Digital Access
We provide essential educational and digital devices, giving children not just the tools to learn, but the opportunity to rebuild confidence, unlock their potential and stay connected.
