It was good to meet the team from Over The Wall in the House of Commons today, to hear about their completely free activity camps for children with health challenges and their families - especially siblings. Their residential camps provide an excellent opportunity to get away from the day-to-day pressures of life with activities including climbing, arts and crafts, drama, music and archery. Camps cater for children with more than 130 different illnesses, with medically trained volunteers always on hand.
There's also a ‘Camp in the Cloud’ which provides the experience of camp from home. Over The Wall are really keen to receive applications from local families - you can check out their website to find out more: www.otw.org.uk
