Edmund Rice Camps are a charitable volunteer organisation that provide a form of community outreach across the UK (and worldwide).

The aim is to provide holiday like experiences for children in local areas who would not otherwise have the opportunity to do so.

This summer in Stoke, 30 children from four different primary schools will be offered this opportunity, however this camp cannot happen without fundraising. Every penny raised will go towards providing an unforgettable week for children who need it most, enabling us to take them on trips, buy equipment, resources, food and provide transport.

A number of fundraisers will be taking place, however our big one is .....

Manchester 10k.

On Sunday 20th May, 7 volunteer leaders (Aidan Oates, Rachel Flather, Rachel Humphreys, Tanisha Jones, Jasmine Joynson, Rachel Ward and I) will be running 10k. We won't be fast, we won't be breaking world records, but we aim to make a difference. We will be running in camp T-shirts and splattered in face paint, so if you want to see us running round painted like Spiderman, lions, dogs, or a variety of weird and wonderful creations please donate, whatever you can!!

This project makes such a huge difference to hundreds of children, and is a cause close to all of our hearts. Our impact may be small, but its the small things that make a huge difference after all.

So help us, help camp, help kids!
