💚 WE NEED YOUR HELP — Let’s get VAT on children’s indoor play from 20% to 0%.💚
A long one but appreciate you taking the time to read 🩵
We’re asking our wonderful Kiltoonies families, friends and community to get behind an important campaign being led by the Association of Indoor Play (AIP) Association of Indoor Play
The AIP is calling on the Government to make children’s indoor play ZERO-RATED for VAT.
At the moment, indoor children’s play is subject to 20% VAT — and for small independent businesses like Kiltoonies, that has a huge impact.
But this isn’t just about Kiltoonies.
Think about your most loved indoor play space — the place your wee ones ask to go back to again and again. Whether that’s Kiltoonies or another fantastic play venue, this change could make a real difference to its future 🙏
Zero-rated VAT could help indoor play businesses stay open, keep prices as affordable as possible for families, invest back into their facilities, create new experiences, support local jobs and continue giving children fantastic places to play, learn and grow. 💚
Because children’s play isn’t just “something to do”.
Through play, children build confidence, develop their imagination, practise communication and social skills, make friends, learn and — most importantly — get the chance to simply be children.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
🙏 Please SIGN the petition:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/777837
🙏 Ask your friends and family to sign too.
🙏 SHARE this post and help us reach as many people as possible.
And we have some BIG targets to hit!
✍️ 10,000 signatures — the Government will respond to the petition.
🏛️ 100,000 signatures — the petition will be considered for debate in Parliament.
💚 200,000 signatures — the AIP’s campaign target!
So please don’t just sign and scroll on — help us multiply every signature.
You don’t have to be a Kiltoonies customer to support this. If you value your most beloved indoor play space, wherever that may be, this campaign is for them too.
Every single signature counts. Every share counts.
We absolutely love what we do at Kiltoonies and want to keep doing it for many, many years to come — and we want to see indoor play businesses throughout the UK continue to thrive too. 💚
LET’S GET VAT TO ZERO ON CHILDREN’S PLAY!
We want the Government to permanently zero rate VAT from admissions to children's indoor play centres to make active play more affordable, improve access for families and support children's health, well-being and development.
