Over The Wall Camp has welcomed new Chief Executive, Alex Copeland, ahead of an exciting year as we open up transformative camps at our ‘forever home’ in Ockbrook, Derbyshire.
Prior to joining Over The Wall Camp, Alex was Chief Executive at homeless charity, Northampton Hope Centre and Hope Enterprises. He joins the charity with over 20 years of leadership experience working with charities, education, and the sports sector.
An exciting time for Over The Wall Camp
In 2024, Over The Wall Camp secured its first permanent home at the former Ockbrook School. This summer, the 17-acre site will welcome hundreds of children and young people living with long-term health conditions and disabilities, and their families.
Alex said:
“I’m thrilled to join Over The Wall Camp at such an exciting time in its journey.
“Securing a permanent home at Ockbrook opens up incredible opportunities to expand our transformative camps and reach even more children and families living with long-term health conditions.”
Recognising that the new venture at Ockbrook needed a locally-based leader to ensure its long-term success, former Chief Executive, Kevin Mathieson, decided to retire late last year. Kevin continues to remain involved with Over The Wall Camp in a senior advisory role.
