Become a volunteer

The Camp is run by a group of approximately 40 volunteers who give their time for free, motivated by the fantastic impact that the Camp has on the children who attend. They work hard throughout the week to make sure that all the children in their care are safe and having a brilliant time. Helpers come from a diverse range of backgrounds and jobs, with teachers, accountants, police officers, builders, pharmacists, surveyors, engineers, nurses and many more. Many helpers even came as children when they were younger!

Volunteer for the next camp

Applications for new volunteers close on 31 March each year, due to the time needed to carry out background checks (DBS), offer training and follow up on references. To become a volunteer, please email Andy Barnes, External Communication and Social Media Lead.
