Over The Wall Camp<\/a> has launched an appeal for volunteers to help at its 2026 camps for children and young people with long-term health conditions, their siblings and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteers provide a fun, safe and supportive environment for children aged eight to 17 years to rediscover the magic and mischief of childhood; to try new things, have amazing impactful experiences and to reflect on all their achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of next year\u2019s camps \u2013 Health Challenge Camps, Siblings Camps, Family Camps and Home Education Camps – are due to take place at the charity\u2019s new forever home in Derbyshire, as well as camps at Perthshire, Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Volunteers work together to deliver or support activities, including arts and crafts, team games, campfires, archery, dance parties and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, thanks to clinical volunteers – qualified doctors, nurses and paramedics – camps can safely accommodate children currently receiving treatment or experiencing health challenges for over 130 illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emily Corrigan, assistant camp director (volunteering), said: \u201cVolunteering with Over The Wall Camp is incredibly rewarding and worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlongside learning new skills, increasing your self-confidence and making lifelong friendships with other volunteers, you can make a big difference to the lives of children and young people, in a magical environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer roles include teammates, activity leaders and media crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emily added: \u201cFrom bringing activities to life and being the spark that keeps the camp buzzing to providing home-from-home nursing and medical care, there really is a role for everyone at Over The Wall Camp.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full volunteer training and support are provided, as well as accommodation and food for the duration of the camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteers must be aged 18 and above and will be asked to complete an enhanced DBS check for camps in England, or a PVG certificate for camps in Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No previous experience working with children or young people is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
