It costs around £10,000 per year to run our two Avalon Camps and all of our funding comes from fundraising events within the village, sponsored activities and Private Donations. Every penny is spent directly or indirectly on the children.
We are always looking for anyone interested in getting involved in any of our activities, new ideas for fundraising and volunteers interested in helping to organise our events.
