ROTARY KIDS OUT
North Walsham Rotary have once again took part in the annual event which has
universally become known as kidsout.
On Wednesday 10th June The club took 25 children from Sidestrand Hall School plus 5
teachers and 10 Rotary helpers to Bewilderwood where the children had a thoroughly fun
filled great day.
Ian Thomson, President of North Walsham Rotary, said: "Kidsout give
children the opportunity to experience and discover new things and the effects of
something as simple as having fun can last forever. All our Rotary volunteers love taking
part in the KidsOut Day because it is a day filled with laughter and you can tell by the
smiles what a difference it is making to these children."
"Many children are fortunate enough to be able to take trips to the beach and parks
for granted but for some, these are days they may never get to experience. Organising a
day out is often a major challenge for parents and carers who look after disabled children
and those with profound learning difficulties. The Rotary KidsOut Day makes these special
moments possible."
"Rotary believes strongly in the importance of promoting fun and happiness for
disadvantaged children and young people irrespective of background or circumstance."
The Rotary KidsOut Day is organised by Rotary International in Great Britain and more than
350,000 children have benefited from a fun-packed day out since it began.
Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland is the largest voluntary non-profit
organisation where members meet regularly to perform charitable works either by direct
hands-on efforts or by raising money for other organisations |
