🐴 Building Confidence and Life Skills with Ride High 🌳 In December, we had the pleasure of visiting the penultimate session of the Ride High Project in Milton Keynes. This 12-week programme, a collaboration between KidsOut and Ride High, brought 16 children together for an equine-assisted and nature-based intervention that helped build their confidence and life skills. Hearing directly from the children about the fantastic time they were having was truly inspiring! 💛 We’re excited to reflect on the programme’s impact through both qualitative and quantitative data, including Ride High’s innovative assessment tool, “The Ride High Wellbeing Measure,” which tracks progress in emotional resilience, self-awareness, and communication. Thank you Ride High and The Roger Raymond Charitable Trust for this wonderful partnership. Together, we’re creating brighter futures for these amazing children. 🐎✨ #KidsOut #RideHigh #EquineTherapy #SupportingChildren #BuildingBrighterFutures #CharityPartnership #KidsoutWorkshop
About us
KidsOut is a national children’s charity (reg no. 1075789) that brings happiness into the lives of children who are disadvantaged, whether through special educational needs, poverty or domestic abuse. Through its three main services, “Day Out”, “Toy Box” and “Fun Days”, KidsOut provides fun experiences and memories for children who may otherwise miss out. Working nationwide with local refuges and organisations, KidsOut is the only charity providing support directly to children escaping domestic violence. Often having left home suddenly, while in refuge children may have few or no toys and little opportunity for days out. The Toy Box and Fun Days services bring some excitement and fun into what can be an otherwise dark period in a child’s life. With more than 90% of all donations going straight to its services, KidsOut helps tens of thousands of children every year forget their worries and focus on just being a child.

So lovely to hear from those that witnessed the children's happy smiling faces as they opened their toys. "Thank you to you all on behalf of SAHWR who were able to benefit from these donations and see huge smiles on the children’s faces! Our clients also feel the benefit as it lifts some of the pressure from them having to provide gifts that they would otherwise not be able to afford! Thank you to all those involved". The SAHWR team 🤍
