Kids Out

Sacrewell Mill

One of the main events of our year is the annual Kids Out trip. Local primary schools nominate children who they feel would benefit from an outing. They may have been having a tough time, been ill or not always had the chance to get away for a day. They are accompanied by a member of staff from their school and Rotary March provides transport, admission costs to Sacrewell Mill and lunch as well as spending money. It is a great day and members of Rotary March also attend. Unfortunately we are not permitted to photograph their activities but it is an extremely worthwhile and rewarding experience. We thank all those who support our fundraising so that we are able to continue with this.

Quotes from the adults from some of the schools on the day:

 "The children have had the most amazing time and it has been wonderful to see them so happy and engaged". 

"An amazing day out, so well organised. The children gain so much from this trip such as the opportunity to enjoy a farm trip, experience the animals and learn about them and farm life. The lunch was delicious and some children do not have the chance to enjoy trips like this at all as for many life is very tricky. The children enjoyed everything"

We have brought 19 children from our reception to Year 6. The children are unlikely to have been to a farm before and they were all really excited to see the animals.

They really enjoyed looking at nature, trees stream etc. Some of them were really nervous about coming as they had not been on a bus before."
