In association with the Rotary KidsOut charity, clubs across Great Britain and Ireland gave a huge number of disadvantaged children a day out to remember. Last year, 20,174 children visited 73 venues free of charge.

This year on June the12th.,the Rotary club of The City of Wolverhampton once again played its part by arranging for local children to have a day out at Twycross Zoo and Warwick Castle.

Here’s what one school told us:

“Our group had a fabulous day and really enjoyed seeing all of the animals (and completing the treasure hunt which was a big success!)

Even our more quiet and reserved pupils came home smiling and were very animated having experienced the parakeets, monkeys and giraffes.

One pupil described it as the ‘best day ever’, and all enjoyed themselves with the added surprise of an ice cream.

Several pupils checked out of their day as feeling grateful and asked I extended this to you and Rotary Kids Out.

Thank-you again for thinking of us and providing our children with a fabulous day out.”
