Recently, KidsOut ran a Circus Skills workshop for children from Herts, Beds and Bucks who have been affected by domestic violence.

During the February half-term period 14 children and 8 mums attended the workshop, hosted at the Lakes Estate Community Centre.  The day involved lots of fun and clowning around, including learning skills such as juggling, hula hooping, spinning plates and diablo.  Refreshments were provided by Waitrose, Leighton Buzzard and we are grateful for their generous donation.  Thanks also go to Cory for giving up her time to share her wonderful skills with KidsOut.

See below quotes from some of those who attended:

“My son has ADHD, Autism and learning disability.  He loved the activities.”

“I want to come back here because it’s fun”, 11-year old.

“I was pleased to see my children enjoying themselves and learning new things”

“My favourite part of the day was the hula hooping”, 12-year old.
