This year 8 Lower Sixth students have raised £6500 to fund a residential summer camp for twenty six  8-11 year olds from disadvantaged family backgrounds at Wellington College in conjunction with the charity CCHF 'All about kids'. 

The Wellington students took part in a gruelling overnight 26 mile walk in June to raise the majority of money. Although exhausted by the end of the challenge, students finished the trek in high spirits! Through sponsorship as well as participating in a variety of other activities including a 3rd Form disco, carnival and three peaks challenge the students have done tremendously well in raising the required amount to fund the week. Their achievements, determination and creativity will enable the children to have a fun packed holiday for five nights in the Stanley boarding house. The camp will involve five days of arts and crafts, camping, cookery, sport and adventure tasks as well as trips out to Bournemouth, Coral reef swimming Pool, ice skating and bowling. Each student will work with a small group of children alongside a volunteer from the charity throughout the week. Details of the week are shown on the week programme page.
