HopScotch provides free respite breaks for young people living in Scotland who have no other chance of a holiday. Our respite breaks take place at Ardvullin where children participate in a programme of educational and fun activities that help develop confidence, self-esteem, and social skills.

Story

I wasn't going to ask people to sponsor me to do this, I wanted to do this as a challenge for me. However, half way through my training the realisation of just how hard this is has hit me big time. So I thought to give me that little extra boost and incentive to not give up I would raise money for Hopscotch, an amazing charity that do fantastic work for vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

It costs £250 per child for a weeks holiday, so if I can raise enough money to give at least two children a weeks break from being a carer or weeks holiday for a child that will never go on holiday. That would be so amazing. Give what you can please!
