We would like to apply for funding for our three sections to attend the 2025 District Camp. Our aim is to subsidise the camp for every young person in order to support families dealing with the impact of the cost of living crisis. We would like to provide every young person with the opportunity to attend by covering the costs of food and activities. We would like to apply for £1,000 towards this.
