Heswall Disabled Children Holiday Fund

Free summer camps, care and activities for disabled children and young peoplEvery year we host two camps for up to 35 children aged 9-15 at each camp. At our camp the children benefit from the independence it offers them. For many, this is the only time they spend away from home all year.
Each camp is attended by around 35 children & 35 volunteer helpers, as we try to aim for a one-to-one ratio of children to helpers. Each year we have theme for the camps, and we try to incorporate activities to fit the themes during the week.
The programme for each camp includes both on-site activities as well as day trips out, including to the zoo, swimming, bowling, theme parks and local areas like Blackpool or Weston-Super-Mare.
Our on-site activities cater for everyone’s interests, with activities ranging from pottery painting to wheelchair rugby  to music and acting. As well as a highlight of the end the week where we have a water and foam event.
