We are a volunteer run group with 60+ youths aging between 5 3/4 & 18, many of which are from one parent families. Many suffer from physical ailments, learning & behavioural issues.We fundraise so these children can be included in the activities scouting offers - camping, abseiling, residentials etc which helps to build confidence, self esteem & respect for themselves and others.
