whom work strategically in fund raising, and publicising the camp,
those whom directly impact on the organisation, administration and
management of the Camp, and together confirm the prioritisation

The Halloween Ball was attended by the Salford Mayor and other
local dignitaries which not only raised the profile of the Charity but
also directly resulted in the Charity being selected as a supported

Achievements and
Performance
.		 During the period of the report, a total of 433 visitors stayed at
Camp including 184 young people from the City of Salford and their
teachers.
The Camp hosted 38 disadvantaged young people from other
areas.
Attendance at the camp was significantly lower to 31stMarch 2022
due to the impact of Covid 19 across England and Wales and the
decision by our regular groups not to attend camp to avoid the risk
of Covid 19 despite growing confidence in the wider community
due to the implementation of the vaccine programme.
The community café has continued to grow and is now a vital asset
within the local community. Bookings and attendance have fallen
by approximately 45% due to the impact of Covid 19. However, the
camp has been used to host blood donor sessions providing further
community benefit during difficult times
