Over the Wall

Over the Wall provides seriously ill children, young people and families with free activity camps.

Many miss out on childhood fun and friendship due to illness and endless hospital stays.

With fully qualified doctors and nurses as volunteers, the camps have a clinically safe environment for children to build confidence and self-esteem, whilst making friends and having fun.

They run camps for children with serious illness, separate camps for siblings and weekend family camps so they can all go together. This year the charity aims to have 1,000 children attending one of their camps and our donation of £1,000 in Quarter 2 of 2019 will pay for two families to attend.

The values of Over the Wall really resonate with our beliefs and the work they do can make a huge impact on a child, and their families wellbeing. By encouraging inclusivity and acceptance, fun, safety, support and friendship, inspiration, escape and adventure they hosted 886 campers last year. With an estimated 50,000 children and young people in the UK living with a serious health issue the opportunities provided by Over the Wall can make a wonderful difference to quality of life and future development for these children.
