Holy Island SVP Vinnies Camp – Volunteering is a Work of Heart

February 17 2025

Holy Island Children’s Camp is looking for new volunteers to help in their Holiday Centre on Holy Island. We are in need of young adults to help the children have a great week’s holiday on the island in Summer 2025.

Full training and support will be given and would suit someone wanting to give back to the Community by helping 9–12-year-olds have fun for a week.

Further information can be found at: https://svp.org.uk/microsite/ozanam-camp or if you’d like to chat about the role please email: BarbaraT@svp.org.uk.

We are also keen to attract people who would like to help by volunteering in our Kitchen/Dining room and with caretaking. Our Term Time Camps need lots of volunteers if they are to survive. If you could find a few days in term time to help out with serving meals, prepping salads and washing dishes we would be truly grateful. By running term time camps, we can sustain our Summer Vinnies Holidays for children. Again, visit the website or email: BarbaraT@svp.org.uk.
