Heswall Disabled Children’s Holiday Fund South West Camp
- Accessible Holidays
- In-person service
The Heswall Disabled Children’s Holiday Fund provides free summer camps and respite care for disabled children aged 9-15, offering independence, fun, and support for both children and their families.
The Heswall Disabled Children’s Holiday Fund has been hosting free holidays for disabled children since 1962. Its primary aim is to provide children with physical disabilities the opportunity to enjoy a week-long summer camp, gain independence, develop confidence, and make friends, while also offering respite for their families.
The camp is attended by around 35 children & 35 volunteer helpers, as we try to aim for a one-to-one ratio of children to helpers. The programme for each camp includes both on-site activities as well as day trips out, including to the zoo, swimming, bowling, theme parks and local areas.
What the service supports:
- A quiet space available
- Autism friendly
- Disabled parking
- Learning disability friendly
- Non-height restricted parking
- Walker accessible
