The Aunt Bessie Fund
The Aunt Bessie Fund was set up to sponsor campers from families who struggle financially. It contributes at least £50 towards indoor camps and £30 towards the church-based/outdoor camps. Last year the fund provided over £3,000 for dozens of children, and it is likely there will be an increase in numbers using the fund this summer.
There is also a separate fund to help pay for the 200 or so volunteers who serve on camps. Each volunteer is asked to make a contribution to help cover costs (£70 for waged; £45 of unwaged), and pay their travel expenses to/from camp and to training days. Many give more than this, but some need financial help.
You can donate to either fund here.
