Leighton Buzzard business raises money for Kids Out

A business in Leighton Buzzard is raising money for Kids Out charity this weekend.

Reclaimed Reloved, in Waterborne Walk Shopping Centre, is donating 10 per cent of all sales to the charity that gives disadvantaged children positive experiences to support them becoming future members of society.

The fundraising starts today (September 25) and runs until Sunday, September 27.

Danny McCann, owner of Reclaimed Reloved, said: "Any purchases from our store 10% will be donating to the charity. So if people had there eye on anything that they have been holding out for now is a good time to buy.

"We have had there collection box for a while now however we have been told that due to the decline in people using cash tender the money from this stream has reduced by a massive 75 per cent.

"This is extremely sad and we wanted to spread the word about this weekend's fundraising so we can raise as much money as possible for them.

"We choose Kids out as they are trying to tackle a massive problem in the UK which is underprivileged children and poverty in this country.

"This is a big issue which and with the work that Kids Out do they manage to take around 60,000 kids on days out during the year which would have never been possible to them.

"Some kids have never been to the seaside and this is the type of days out Kids Out covers.

"It’s getting towards that Christmas period we’re most people have lots of family around them and enjoy this period with presents.

"Kids Out does a lot around this period proving a kids with present that normally wouldn’t receive anything at all.

"This is something we would like to contribute towards as a business and bring a few more smiles in these uncertain times."

KidsOut provides a range of services to bring about positive change to thousands of disadvantaged children around the UK.
