Maisie Turns Heads at The Priory Gardens Car Show

On Saturday 14th June, The Priory Gardens in Dunstable played host to a spectacular car rally featuring over 200 vintage and classic vehicles—but one special guest stole the show. Maisie, our beloved 1956 Morris Minor, made her grand debut representing Kids in Action. With her timeless charm and polished finish, Maisie quickly became a crowd favourite. Visitors couldn’t resist stopping by to admire her classic design and learn more about the incredible work we do at Kids in Action to support young people and adults with additional needs. Maisie’s presence sparked countless conversations, smiles, and shared memories of yesteryear—all while shining a light on a cause that’s changing lives in our community. Thank you to everyone who came out, said hello, and showed their support. Maisie’s journey is just beginning, and we can’t wait to see where she’ll take us next.

On a bright and joyful day, Kids in Action held a Walk a Mile sponsored event to mark our 30th birthday and raise vital funds for our work. Friends, families, and supporters came together to put their best foot forward proving that every step counts when you’re walking for a cause close to the heart. Thanks to everyone’s enthusiasm and generosity, we raised over £800 to support our projects for children and adults with additional needs. Whether you walked, cheered, or donated, you were part of something special. A huge well done and thank you to all who made this celebration such a success. Here’s to the next 30 years of inclusion, empowerment, and community spirit.

Cheers to 30 Years of Kids in Action!

This year marks a monumental milestone for Kids in Action—30 years since 1995 we have created an inclusive space, empowering young people, and building a stronger community. In April, we kicked off the celebrations in style with our 30th birthday party at Venue 360 in Luton. Joined by our friends, families, and supporters, the event sparkled with laughter, love, and live entertainment from the fabulous Joe and Kirsty Corrigan, who kept the energy high and the dance floor busy! The evening was more than just a party—it was a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey. From volunteers and staff to members and partners, each of you has played a role in shaping what Kids in Action is today. Here’s to 30 years of impact—and exciting adventures still to come.

We See Ability. We Build Belonging.

Kids in Action is a charity devoted to supporting children and young adults with special needs—with a strong focus on positively transforming lives through friendship, freedom, and fun.

Did you know that 2% of the UK population is born with a learning disability? Or that up to 18% of people live with some form of disability?

Now imagine this: on top of the daily challenges that come with those realities, many are met with loneliness, exclusion, bullying, and discrimination. The toll that takes—on self-esteem, mental health, and quality of life—is enormous.

That’s where we step in.

Opening Doors to Connection and Confidence

The difference Kids in Action makes is life changing.

Through our accessible, welcoming facilities and activities, we provide children and young people with disabilities the same opportunities for fun, friendship, and freedom that others may take for granted. But for our members, it’s so much more than that. We help break down the barriers of isolation that so often surround them—offering not just a place to go, but a place to belong. A place where social and communication skills are nurtured, self-confidence grows, and—often for the very first time—friendships bloom.
