Paul, our charity CEO, gave a talk at the Bedfordshire Morris Minor Owners Club and was inspired by their passion for restoring classic cars. He mentioned that a Morris Minor would be a great asset for the charity, and the club members were enthusiastic about the idea. They took the initiative to write an article in the National Morris Minors Club magazine, explaining their desire to find a car for our charity. Fortunately, their appeal caught the attention of a generous donor who offered to donate a Morris Minor, despite needing significant restoration work. The BMMOC club gladly took on the challenge of restoring the car. They poured their time, effort, and expertise into bringing the car back to its former glory. The result was a stunning restoration, and the car was lovingly named “Maisie.” In 2025, “Maisie” will be gracing car shows and school fetes across the region, raising awareness and funds for Kids in Action. This incredible partnership between the Bedfordshire Morris Minor Owners Club and Kids in Action is a testament to the power of community and the generosity of car enthusiasts.
The Rotary Club of Dunstable Downs has gone above and beyond to support Kids in Action (KIA) by purchasing a 16-seater Peugeot minibus. This generous donation will significantly enhance KIA’s ability to transport children and young people, allowing them to participate in more activities and programs within the community. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Rotary Club of Dunstable Downs for their incredible support. Their generosity will make a lasting impact on the lives of many.
Heres to 2025!!!!

Did you know that 2% of the UK population is born with a learning disability and that up to 18% of the population has some form of disability?
The terrible truth is that many people with disabilities are lonely, bullied, excluded and discriminated against – on top of the challenges they already face.
Imagine the toll that must take.
The service and facilities we provide make an enormous difference to the children and young people we work with. Not only does it give them access to the sort of social and leisure opportunities that most other children and young people enjoy, but it also helps them overcome the social isolation they often suffer from and the mental health and well-being problems that are associated with that. It also helps develop their social and communication skills, and for some of them make friends for the first time.
