The Mitchemp Trust is a youth development charity working with vulnerable children who are between the ages of 11 and 14 years. They aim to improve their confidence, self esteem and ability to take responsibility for themselves.

The Trust accomplishes this by providing adventure camps, involving exciting outdoor activities that enable the children to succeed and achieve. They learn to go beyond their own limited expectations and become more confident in their approach to new challenges. They are given opportunities to make their own decisions and to demonstrate their growing self reliance.

The Mitchemp Trust covers all the costs associated with the camps, including transport, clothing, equipment, tents, activity instructors and food. This enables all children to benefit from the camps, no matter what their current situation might be.

The Trust works with schools, social services and voluntary groups to identify those children who will benefit most from this unique opportunity to develop themselves and make a lasting improvement to their lives.
