About Our project

We have had one aim for all the children that we have had the pleasure of helping over the years. We aim to bring the ‘child’ back into childhood.

No child should be the target of anyone’s anger or frustration. No child should have to endure bullying or abuse at the hands of another and no one should have the right to take a child’s childhood away. They have the right to follow in the footsteps of previous generations of children to play and to get messy without the fear of ridicule from people, both adults and children, who have forgotten what it is like to just have fun. The children of this generation are too serious; everything needs to have a reason. Ask yourself the question what is the reason for running through a muddy puddle? Answer It’s fun.

To the parents. Remember what it was like when you were younger? Swinging from trees, picking blackberries, walking for miles and seeing the countryside, trekking and all the things that have made you the adults of today. These are the things that help to make today’s children the adults of tomorrow.

Childhood stays with us until we want to let it go and we are the biggest kids of them all. If it rains we get wet if it’s muddy we get messy and if it’s sunny we get sunburned. All that the kids do, we do and it’s fun.

The children we take who have no emotional baggage benefit from the chance to meet children who carry their problems inside, hidden, but visible to those who take the trouble to look. They learn that the world is not always seen through rose tinted glasses and that a lot of children have to carry emotions that an adult would struggle with.

For a few short days we try to introduce children to something they have either forgotten or have never known………FUN.
