Direct Vacuums Are Proud To Support Kids In Action

We are delighted to announce that Direct Vacuums is partnering with the charity Kids In Action, and will donate 5% of any order which is placed using the special discount code KIA5. Kids in Action provides support and social opportunities for children and young adults with special needs and disabilities. Their aim is to make a positive difference to each and every individual, encouraging their participation in social activities, in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Many young people with disabilities experience isolation and loneliness- their work helps to alleviate these negative experiences and has often been described as a life-line by families. The charity’s main facility is a centre in Dunstable, a building housing different accessible spaces for social interaction. Kids in Action run weekly activities for children and young people and as many of the original members are now adults, they have a dedicated over 18s club too. By providing facilities and support to young people, this has also enabled the organic growth of extended support to families, who have a shared experience of caring for a family member with disabilities. Having an extended ‘family’ sharing difficulties and positive experiences really helps and Kids in Action plays a very important role in this. Since Kids in Action moved to their current home in Dunstable in June 2014, they have seen a consistent growth in the number of children, young people and young adults from Herts Beds and Bucks with special needs attending regular sessions. They have plans to expand their offering in the community, by upgrading, renewing and adding new equipment to widen the scope of activities and to increase the frequency of club sessions. One of the Direct Vacuums teams will be running in the 5K Fun Run organised in July and we’re looking forward to working closely with Kids in Action, helping with fundraisers as well as donating our time.
