Stellify Award: This opportunity is part of 'Make a Difference'
Organisation Description: Free residential camps for disabled children
Description of role: Join us for a weekend trip with a difference!
Our charity is expanding to give young adults with disabilities a once-in-a-lifetime experience—away from home and their main carer, completely free of charge.

What We Do
Our camps offer disabled children the chance to build confidence, independence, and joy through unforgettable activities. From campfires and music to abseiling, kayaking, and even flying lessons, every moment is designed to help children achieve things they never thought possible.

Your Role as a Volunteer
On this young adult camp we will have a May Bank Holiday weekend full of fun with a group of disabled young people (17-25) who otherwise struggle to spend time away from home independently.
As a team we will provide hands-on care, mentoring, and activities in a safe, nurturing environment. You’ll be part of a dedicated team making magic happen every day.

What You’ll Gain
- Full training and mentoring from experienced helpers
- Enhanced DBS provided
- Experience in inclusive care and activity planning
- A chance to help stage extraordinary events (like our past music festival!)
- A life-changing experience for you and the children you support
- All travel and accomodation is covered by the charity

Who We’re Looking For:
- No qualifications required—just compassion, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn
- Ideal for those interested in education, care, or medicine
- Volunteers with a passion to help disabled children achieve their dreams

You can also support us with fundraising throughout the year.
