Tradi�onal so� play and bubble tube features were replaced with a den area and a bubble wall, offering a modern and immersive sensory experience. Two large-scale video projec�ons serve as focal points within the space, enabling educators to seamlessly integrate curriculum content with sensory-based learning approaches. This innova�ve setup supports both educa�onal and therapeu�c objec�ves.

CASE STUDIES
I have been working with a family with a currently 7-year-old girl. The girl arrived at the shelter 3 years ago. Since then, the family has been grateful for all the support that KidsOut has provided such as going to the theatre, cinemas, summer fun, Christmas party, and toys. Through these ac�vi�es, the girl has been able to have fun and develop key skills and abili�es as well as improve her language learning.
‘I didn’t understand why we had to leave. Mum kept telling me everything would be okay, but she looked really sad. I missed my toys, my bed, and the way things used to be. Everything felt different and scary. Then one day, someone gave me a box. Inside, there were books, toys, and a so� teddy bear. I hugged it �ght that night, and for the first �me in a long �me, I felt a li�le bit safe. It reminded me that not everything was gone—there were s�ll people who cared about us.’
the children se�le and feel at home. The toy dona�ons from KidsOut are really very important and an integral part of this toy package/se�lement process. One mother’s children asked if Santa had come early as they said it felt like it was Christmas!! It is worth no�ng too that the addi�onal support of KidsOut in the run up to Christmas itself is absolutely fantas�c as this support assists our families massively and takes some financial pressures off our mums.
‘Fleeing was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I didn’t have �me to think—I just knew we had to get out. I held my child’s hand and walked away from everything we knew, not knowing where we’d end up. I was scared, exhausted, and full of doubt.’
The box from KidsOut wasn’t just toys—it was hope. It gave my child a reason to smile again, something to hold onto when everything else felt uncertain. Knowing that someone out there cared about us helped me believe that maybe we were going to be okay. Today, we’re finding our way forward. My child is making friends at school, and I’m learning to rebuild our life. It’s not easy, but we’re not alone anymore. The support we’ve received has changed everything, and I will always be grateful for the kindness that helped us take our first steps towards a new future.’
A 10-month-old baby boy recently came to the refuge with his mother. They had to leave in a hurry, taking only the bare essen�als, which made the move par�cularly difficult. The boy’s toy box included so� toys, sensory items, and a baby-friendly teether, which were ideal for his age and developmental needs. His mother shared how grateful she was for the toys, as they made the transi�on easier for her baby, helping to provide some sense of normality during such a turbulent �me. The toy boxes are designed with care, and each item is suitable for the child's age. This careful cura�on means that even for babies, the toys offer comfort and engagement during a stressful �me for the whole family.
theatre days, summer and winter ac�vi�es, as well as toy boxes. A parent said, ‘I am very grateful for the gi�s my children have received…seeing my children happy is the best thing that could have happened to me.’ Children and mothers have demonstrated significant psychological and social benefits; they are more relaxed and sociable, they talk and interact more with other people and their fine and gross motor skills are improving and adap�ng to their chronological age.
‘I have always wanted this, I have dreamed of this, it is my best game, I finally have it, in this shelter they have given me the best gi�s of my life, I am very happy with my gi�, thank you. I have never been to a cinema (how big and dark it is, I would like to go back), going to the theatre is the most fantas�c, wonderful thing, I would like to go back’

Report of the Trustees for the Period Ended 30 November 2024
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing documents, the Memorandum & Ar�cles of Associa�on, and cons�tutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
As set out in the Ar�cles of Associa�on, the trustees are nominated by other trustees and must be approved by a board mee�ng. One third of the trustees resign each year at the AGM of the charity (based on a rota system) but can stand again for re-elec�on at the same mee�ng. When looking for new trustees to nominate, the trustee board undertakes a skills audit to highlight the areas desired by the charity and those currently lacking or under-represented. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
Decision making
The board of trustees administers the charity. The board meet quarterly, and individuals will input their areas of exper�se through the Chief Execu�ve where required at other �mes. The Chief Execu�ve is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-to-day opera�on of the charity. The trustees delegate authority to the Chief Execu�ve to facilitate opera�ons including finance, fundraising, project development and service provision and employment.
Key management remunera�on
All Trustees give their �me freely and no Trustee/Director received remunera�on in the period except as detailed in note 10 of the Notes of the Financial Statements. The pay of senior staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. In view of the nature of the charity, the directors benchmark against pay levels in other chari�es of a similar size and scale of ac�vity. A remunera�on commi�ee through the Chairman sets and approves all pay
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to iden�fy and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The staff of the charity submit their own areas of work to a risk assessment on an annual basis and the results of that are compiled in a risk register. This contains iden�fied risks, the systems put in place to mi�gate those risks and the procedures put in place to minimise the poten�al impact of those risks, should they materialise and is reviewed by the trustee board.
Employee involvement
to affect employees' interests. Informa�on of ma�ers of concern to employees is given through informa�on bulle�ns and reports which seek to achieve a common awareness on the part of all employees of the financial and economic factors affec�ng the group's performance.
Disabled persons
Applica�ons for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the ap�tudes of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled, every effort is made to ensure that their employment within the charity con�nues and that the appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the charity that the training, career development and promo�on of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be iden�cal to that of other employees.
Fundraising
We are always exploring ways to grow our income whilst adhering to our values in all our ac�vi�es. KidsOut manages its own ac�vi�es in respect to raising funds in conjunc�on with our trading subsidiary and does not employ the services of external professional fundraisers. KidsOut takes its responsibili�es towards its donors very seriously and seeks to apply best prac�ce to protect the personal data of its donors, ensuring that communica�on preferences can be changed at any �me. KidsOut is mindful of its responsibili�es to vulnerable people and undertakes to react to and inves�gate any complaints regarding its ac�vi�es for raising funds and to learn from them and improve its service. During the year, KidsOut received no formal complaints about its ac�vi�es for raising funds.

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibili�es, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the prepara�on of the financial statements and for being sa�sfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the prepara�on of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
In iden�fying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregulari�es, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regula�ons, our procedures included the following:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charitable company and group and the sector in which it operates.

-
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company and group are complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks and made enquiries to the management of known or suspected instances of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regula�ons. We corroborated our enquiries through our review of board minutes, other relevant mee�ng minutes and review of correspondence with regulatory bodies.
including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the audit team included:
-
Iden�fying and assessing the controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
-
Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the poten�al for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial repor�ng process;
-
Iden�fying and tes�ng journal entries, in par�cular journal entries posted with unusual account combina�ons.
-
Assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regula�ons.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period Ended 30 November 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
prepared in accordance with the Chari�es SORP (FRS 102) 'Accoun�ng and Repor�ng by Chari�es: Statement of Recommended Prac�ce applicable to chari�es preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effec�ve 1 January 2019)', Financial Repor�ng Standard 102 'The Financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost conven�on. The presenta�on currency of these financial statements is in pounds sterling.
Going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assump�on is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. They have considered the Charity's and Group’s financial posi�on, its reserves and forecast expenditure for the twelve months following the date the accounts are expected to be approved and have concluded that there are no material uncertain�es rela�ng to events or condi�ons that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity and Group to con�nue as a going concern. In the light of this assessment, the trustees are of the opinion that the Charity and Group will have enough resources to meet its liabili�es as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date that the accounts are signed.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Ac�vi�es once the charity has en�tlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Gi�s in kind are recognised on the basis of the value of the gi� to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the goods on the open market.
dona�on, unless performance condi�ons require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in rela�on to dona�ons received under Gi� Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the �me of the dona�on.
amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a con�ngent asset.
and the Chari�es SORP (FRS 102), the economic contribu�on of general volunteers is not recognised in the accounts.
Expenditure
Liabili�es are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or construc�ve obliga�on commi�ng the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in se�lement and the amount of the obliga�on can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly a�ributed to par�cular headings they have been allocated to ac�vi�es on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the ac�vity for which the expense was incurred.
Legal status
14 Church Square, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, LU7 1AE. The financial statements consolidate the results of the Charity and it’s wholly owned subsidiary, Kids Out Trading Limited.
