Annual Report 2023 – Friends of Carlton Camp
-
The most significant event of the year was Hartlepool Council agreeing to renew a 10 year lease from 2024-2034. The lease is to manage the day to day running of Carlton Adventure Camp. A great deal of effort and hard work was put into ensuring that the councillors voted in favour of continuing to support Carlton. By way of a celebration a reception was held at Carlton Camp for councillors during an evening. They observed children doing outdoor activities, enjoyed a buffet reception and participated in campfire singing with around 30 children.
-
The year was also marked by major fund raising with a successful sponsored walk by members and a highly profitable golf day at Wynyard Golf club.
-
The friends continue to work on projects to enhance the camp with a new boiler house door being installed, external woodwork repainted, a new path laid for disabled children to the camp fire area. Hanging baskets installed and an avenue of trees planted on the drive leading to the centre.
-
Money has been set aside to subsidise visits to Carlton Camp for children at Stranton Primary School and St Helen’s Primary school, Hartlepool for 2024.
