Camp 2024 is over, but over the week we’ve had a flurry - or should that be gust - of great fun. Thank you to all the volunteers, supporters, visitors but most of all the children who were fantastic and really made the most of it.

Message if you're one of the lucky ones who joined our raffle at the Paddy's Day Celebrations at the Leeds Irish Centre but had such a good time, you forgot to claim your prize :-)

The "Tayto crisps" hamper remains unclaimed...

We have seen an unprecedented increased demand for furniture for referrals to support families in need this month. As you can see our "stock" levels are low. We can only support families if we have furniture. Do get in touch if you have any donations. Please share.

[SVP Leeds Camp @svpleeds]

And that’s it for 2023. A fabulous week with fabulous children organised by fabulous volunteers. Well done to everyone and see you all in 2024!

We would we be without our minibus drivers? (Probably on the camp field as we’d have no way to get around) 🚌
