MINI UK is thrilled to be working with KidsOut as its chosen charity partner. We're two organisations with the common goal of providing fun and adventure, and together we aim to develop genuine opportunities that will benefit disadvantaged children and young people.

KidsOut is a national children's charity and in 2007 it helped 55,000 disadvantaged children and young people throughout the UK. Many of the children have physical, health, social or learning difficulties, while others face less obvious challenges - such as coming from turbulent or financially deprived backgrounds.

Andy Hearn, General Manager for MINI UK, says: "We're over the moon to be working with KidsOut as MINI UK's chosen charity partner. The innovative projects run by KidsOut are designed to provide enriching experiences for children and young adults to help their long-term development. We've seen that these initiatives have made a real difference to children's lives, and there is plenty more scope to build upon this and do so much more. It truly is an inspiring cause and one which I know will capture the hearts of our MINI friends."
