Right now, 1 in 10 children are missing out on childhood due to a serious illness or disability – and that number is growing. For these children, quality of life is significantly impacted by isolation and their inability to take part in everyday activities enjoyed by their friends. Often, this results in a lack of self-esteem and confidence which can become a barrier to future growth and development. 

That’s where Over The Wall Children’s Charity comes in. Over The Wall is a UK based charity for children with serious illness and disabilities, and their families, to discover a world of mischief and magic. A place where they can be brave and have fun with others. These amazing places are physical – in residential camps – and also available online, with ‘Camp in the Cloud’ and Camp 365. And what’s more, it’s all free! Attending a transformational camp or experience allows a child with health challenges to leave their everyday difficulties behind and be reminded of what it means to be a child. They get to laugh, dance, and cause mischief in a safe, inspiring environment.
