Late March 2020 and I had an idea to break the monotony of lockdown, to camp in our back garden with the kids to raise much needed cash for the NHS, since then, we've raised thousands of pounds to aid frontline NHS staff
As the weeks and months have passed by, I've had some tremendous support from people all over the globe, including Hong Kong, New Zealand, South Africa and The USA. And we now have the support of GO OUTDOORS and BLACKS
Not only has this adventure been fun, but it as helped people with their mental heath, lets keep this going, we've had some ace ideas for the May bank holidays and VE Day, heres how you can get involved: -
As of 25/1/21 we have raised a massive £210,366.00! (Including Gift Aid)
Help us celebrate our 1st birthday by joining us this weekend (Saturday 27th March 2021) for a celebration campout!
