Kids Out, Wicksteed Park. Detail TBC

For a number of years District 1070 has supported Rotary’s Kids Out day – which is always  in June – by coordinating the participating Clubs visit to Wicksteed Park Kettering for a day of fun and frolics for around 2000 disabled/disadvantaged kids.   From its early days Rotary has supported the event, which was initially started by the Liverpool taxi drivers clubbing together to take the children of mariners at sea out for the day before the Moores family of football pools and stores fame started to sponsor it and involved Rotary in the administration

The independent charity Kids Out was formed to raise funds to support Rotary’s efforts and continues to do so by contributing £1 per registered child per annum and provides free baseball caps.
