Give The Gift Of Magic

Give the Gift of Magic this Christmas

For a child living with a serious illness, real childhood can feel out of reach.

But with your help, they can experience confidence, friendship and freedom at Over The Wall Camp – completely free for their families.

This festive season, help us bring more children to camp in 2026.

Your gift will fund life-changing experiences at our new Ockbrook site and across the UK.

Please donate today and give the gift of magic.

"Before camp, I felt like my health challenges dictated my life and they defined me… I lived around them, whereas now they live around me."
Rhona, Health Challenge Camper

“Camp made me the person I am today.”

Camp is more than a holiday. It’s a life-changing experience that gives children, like Rhona, the chance to laugh, grow, and feel truly magical again.

Rhona's Story of Camp

Because of her health conditions, Rhona, 11, missed out on many things other children her age enjoyed, such as school trips, sleepovers, and nights away with youth clubs.  

Missing so much time at school made it hard for her to make friendships, and her peers had often been unkind.  

Rhona worried that the other young people at camp would be the same. She was naturally anxious and teary.  

The Magic of Camp

On camp, surrounded by other children facing medical challenges like hers, and supported by caring volunteers and staff, she gradually shed her self-doubt and anxiety.  

Camp didn’t just give Rhona some amazing memories. Camp helped her reclaim her identity. Rhona discovered that she could be sociable, confident, and feel connected. She made life-long friendships, fun and belonging replaced isolation, and by the end of camp, she didn’t want to leave.

Rhona’s mother says’, “Camp is amazing, each year there’s growth… you can just see it in her confidence!”.

“At camp, everyone understands what it’s like to face similar challenges. Even if your struggles are a bit different, you can properly relate to each other. It’s amazing to be able to do that and express how you’re truly feeling about things."
Rhona, Health Challenge Camper
