Each year we take a group of young people to Trill Farm in East Devon for a 5 day summer camp. For many, this is the first time they have ventured outside of an urban environment in the UK, and the experience can be transformative. Our host, Romy Fraser, welcomes them to her 300 acre farm where they can enjoy of a packed schedule of activities, including beach trips and campfires, cooking classes, farming and arts and crafts. The group form friendships, practise their English and see life in the UK from an entirely different, and wonderful, perspective.

To find out more about this project, read our Summer Camp 2018 blog, read this article in the Times online last year or check out this piece from local community group, Elmbridge CAN, who supported the trip in 2017 & 2018.
