The foundations of KidsOut were firmly laid when, in the early 1960's, Littlewood's founder Sir John Moores began The Liverpool Motorists' Day Out. This was a local event where a group of privileged car owners took disabled and disadvantaged children out for a special and memorable day. This was often a trip to the seaside, to a local park or zoo.

It was then in 1990 when Sir John's eldest daughter, Lady Grantchester, saw an opportunity to build on her father's legacy. With the help of her local Rotary Club, two dedicated Rotarians, and a financial donation from Littlewoods, a day for 200 disadvantaged children took place at Thorpe Park.
Such was its success that other Rotary Clubs throughout the UK wanted to do the same, and soon the day - aptly titled KidsOut - became the largest single day out for special needs children in the UK.

In 1999, in order to secure funding for the KidsOut day out and to raise funds for other children's activities, a national registered charity was formed

Our local KidsOut event took place on 14 June at the Army Rugby Ground in Aldershot and was the combined effort of a number of local Rotary Clubs.
