Last month pop star Michelle Heaton joined 21 children from the charity Kangaroos in Disneyland Paris to enjoy their chosen ‘Memory of a Lifetime’. The visit was part of local charity Kangaroos 25th Anniversary as it celebrates 25 years supporting children in Sussex.

Michelle Heaton and her family joined the Kangaroos group in Disneyland Paris where they started an unforgettable day meeting Mickey & Minnie Mouse in Walt Disney Studios, followed by practising their cooking skills, producing a Tutti Frutti dish, and harnessing their creativity by customising Mickey ears during two workshops.

Cuckfield resident and Kangaroos 18+ member Siobhain Lee said: “My favourite ride was the Ratatouille ride, the food was good, the hotel was big and it was good fun sharing with my friends and having a giggle (and the parade was excellent)!”

“I just know how excited she was about time away without parents,” Siobhain’s mum Jane explained. “She had a fabulous time doing all the things the group wanted to do, rather than having to negotiate with the family about it. Thank you.”
