On the 26th of April 2024, Sarah and Peter are taking on the Coast to Coast trek. For 2 weeks they will be donning their walking boots and walking up to 14 miles a day, starting at St Bees and ending in Robin Hoods Bay. A big challenge, but one they are excited to complete to raise money for KidsOut UK.

KidsOut is a charity dedicated to supporting some of the UK’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable children with positive and happy experiences. In collaboration with 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 the child’s transition into their new home.

KidsOut is the only organisation in the UK to give every child in refuge the opportunity to receive Toys and Days Out.
