Story
Leeds Childrens Charity supports thousands of children across the city that dont enjoy a happy childhood. They give children who are raised in poverty, who suffer abuse or neglect, or who give up much of their childhood to care for a parent, a fun filled, week long break where they can create happier memories. With the support of local schools, social workers and carers, they take 400 children away each year where they play, make friends, learn social skills and enjoy respite away from home. On top of this they welcome schools all year round to provide children with a good experience where they have fun and learn new skills.
