Campus Children's Holiday
The campus children’s holiday project provides vulnerable children with the opportunity to participate in activities which would typically not be available to them as a result of poverty or social exclusion. On-site activities included team games, cooking, craft, and a bouncy castle. Off-site activities included horse riding, cycling, ice skating, beach visits and trampolining; pursuits which the children otherwise would not have been able to access.
