A huge thank you to the team at Rosgal Ltd for their recent sponsorship and donation. From the bottom of our hearts, we are so very grateful for your support.
It costs over £80,000 each year to keep our camp open and provide a holiday experience for young people of Salford and the neighbouring GMCA boroughs. Your contribution will make such a difference in giving a child a memory for life!
Huge Thank You to Mayfield Flooring and Tarkett UK!
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mayfield Flooring, Stockport and Tarkett UK for their incredible generosity in supplying and installing beautiful new vinyl flooring in our community room at the Salford Children’s Holiday Camp, Prestatyn.
This much-loved holiday camp has been creating cherished memories for generations, providing vital breaks for children who might not otherwise get the chance to enjoy a holiday. Thanks to Mayfield’s support, the refreshed space will help us continue this work in an even more welcoming and uplifting environment.
A special shoutout to the installation team, whose professionalism, cleanliness, and attention to detail were second to none. You did a truly outstanding job!
We are deeply grateful for your contribution and would highly recommend Mayfield Flooring and Tarkett UK for any future projects - your care and commitment to our camp is an incredible demonstration of Social Value and how it impacts the work we do.

Thanks to everyone who donates, fundraises and supports the children's camp we have been able to install a new slide and play equipment this year, this highlights how much of a difference we all can make to our young visitors lives as they spend a week away from home.
Many thanks to one of our community cafe regulars Robyn Clayton who created and personally funded our new amusement garden 'THE TEAPOT CAFE', its really created a buzz for all our young visitors thoughout the season. Robyn is set to work on a new garden area at the main entrance next and again this will be funded by himself so a massive thank you from everyone associated with Salford Children's Holiday Camp.

Jo and Doug our on-site Managers collected an award from the Mayor of Prestatyn for helping within the community by hosting and supporting the warm hub initiative.
The warmhub is a place for people to meet, keep warm and have a chat over some soup and a bread roll.
Winton Wanderers FC are one if not THE largest football clubs in Salford and strive to make football available to all children - The club is based in Eccles but covers all of Salford with over 60 teams and over 800 players.
The Leopards team stayed for 2 nights which was fully funded by Salford CVS as part of a well-being grant (see #salfordstories) - this grant was a joint application by Paul at SCHC and Mike at Stepping Stones Creative.
The team trained onsite and enjoyed the play area, games room and their time by the sea including trips out to bowling, beach etc...and have created memories that will last a lifetime.
Everyone at SCHC enjoyed having you stay with us and we do hope you come again in the future.
Thank you to the family of the late Fred Rothwell for the sum of £480 from donations at Fred's funeral.
Fred sadly passed away age 88yrs recently and although he never went to the camp he had supported us over the years and in Fred's memory his family has continued to do so.
This money will go towards giving a child a much needed holiday by the sea.
