About Camp Quality UK

Camp Quality UK is a non-profit organisation that is committed to giving children with cancer and leukaemia repeated opportunities to enjoy a positive, fun and inspiring childhood through quality recreational, play and creative activity programs.

For over 20 years, we have given children with cancer the same opportunities their peer group take for granted. We exist not just to give hope, but to challenge, inspire and, above all, bring some much-needed fun and laughter into their lives.

What We Do

We give children with cancer, and leukaemia, a chance to be themselves and to have fun. We do this through a number of different projects and initiatives, including group holidays, where the children can enjoy activities like abseiling, sailing, archery, canoeing, rock climbing, swimming, horse riding, but also less strenuous pursuits including box games, crafts, entertainments, and visits to leisure parks. All these activities are supervised by properly trained and qualified staff.

The holiday programme is structured to cater for all abilities and disabilities. We try to let children do what they and our medical team feel they can do. The care of children is our prime concern and it is with this is mind that we staff our holidays to ensure the appropriate level of expertise and experience.

Every holiday is funded entirely by Camp Quality UK and is provided free of charge to each child. Neither the child nor parents have to meet any hidden costs. The children are transported, under supervision from a point near their home or treatment hospital to the holiday venue and back. We even provide a nominal amount of pocket money during the week.

Who We Help

At Camp Quality, we recognise the decision to send a child on a Camp Quality holiday will rest with the Doctor and nurses, social workers, as well as the parents. However, it is the child who is the main beneficiary and the reason why Camp Quality exists.

We also understand just how much the whole family is affected, which is why siblings receive support from Camp Quality. They can often feel left out and Camp Quality works to help them cope. We include siblings whenever we can.

And, to make it easier for families to take advantage of our holidays, everything is completely free of charge. We are especially keen to welcome children from all sectors of society, including those from more disadvantaged families, all ethnic backgrounds and those who might struggle to have a holiday.

But, we also know just how important it is for parents to have a break from the daily routine and emotional stress of looking after their son or daughter
