This summer, Over The Wall Camp received an incredible £200,000 grant from the Garfield Weston Foundation – a gift that’s helping us take a giant step towards creating our first permanent home for children and families living with long-term health conditions.
Building a Place Full of Magic
Thanks to this support, we’re transforming the former Ockbrook School near Derby into a state-of-the-art residential camp. The 17-acre site will soon be buzzing with laughter, play, and friendship, with brand-new bedrooms, dining spaces, and kitchens ready to welcome families.
The Ockbrook site will also feature first-class medical facilities and amazing recreational spaces – from an adventure park to an open-air amphitheatre – giving children a chance to rediscover the magic of childhood in a safe, supportive environment.
A Milestone Moment
The Garfield Weston Foundation has been supporting charities for over 60 years, and their confidence in our vision marks a milestone in our journey. Their generosity means we can move closer to opening the doors of Ockbrook to thousands more children who need camp the most.
