We’re taking Bailey’s lead and taking the leap to ask you, our community, for support. 🧗 🌈 This December, for the first time, we’re joining the Big Give Christmas Challenge to raise vital funds for our Barnstondale Bursary Scheme which part-funds children’s places on activity days and residentials so they can join their friends and make lasting memories. 🏕️ To unlock matched funding and double donations, we need companies or individuals to pledge up to £2,500 by 31st August. (Your donation won’t be collected until December.) 🎯 💙 For every £100 raised, another child gets the chance they deserve and this year, we have 1,500+ children that have requested our support already. Let’s make sure they don’t miss out and can have the opportunity, like Bailey, to hear their friends chant, build resilience and accomplish the unimaginable ✨ 📩 Pledge any amount today: Siobhan@barnstondale.org 🔗 Or pledge online: https://community.biggive.org/s/pledge?campaignId=a05WS000006B9CbYAK 📢 Can’t give?

☀️ Summer’s Here and the Fun Has Begun! 🌳🌈 At Barnstondale, we believe that every child should have access to outdoor education, to explore, grow in confidence, connect with nature, and just be themselves. 🌲💪 This summer we’re excited to welcome incredible local disability youth organisations including Stick ‘n’ Step, Heswall Disabled Holiday Camp, and DKYR1A. These groups are full of amazing young people ready to take on the woodland, conquer new challenges, and make memories that last a lifetime. 💚🎉 To everyone who’s already started their summer holidays: we hope it’s full of sunshine, joy, and time outdoors! ☀️🍃 And to all the staff, carers and volunteers supporting young people this summer, you’re heroes. 👏 Let the summer fun begin! #Barnstondale #OutdoorEducation #InclusiveAdventure #SummerAtBarnstondale #DisabilityInclusion #EveryChildOutdoors 👉 Learn more about our work and how you can support: www.barnstondale.org (fb)
