Kids Day Out
Sat, Aug 6th 2022 at 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
at Foxes Piece School, Marlow
Back by popular demand after an absence of two years this fantastic, heart-warming event was a great success. This day out for Young Carers and their families in a safe, secure environment is the only such event in South Bucks that is put on each year. Young Carers families are some of the most disadvantaged in the county.
More than forty Rotarians, brothers, sisters and families had nearly as good a time as the visitors who numbered over one hundred. Our guests enjoyed various activities from inflatables, crafts, a sensory area, giant bubbles and games and of course lots of food and soft drinks. A BBQ lunch was served and this was followed by a cake and ice cream tea. The feedback from the attending Young Carers families was brilliant and most have said that they want to attend again in 2023.
Thanks to David Miller’s Youth Committee for all their hard work in putting it on, and in particular Karen, Sarah and (boyfriend) Chris. Without their input and experience I don’t think we could run this. This is what Rotary does best - 'Make a difference to those less fortunate'.
