We organised and supported 11 children to attend the Frinton junior golf summer camp. The cost was £30 each child and included lunch. All the children attending had a fantastic day, building new skills and trying new activities that due to cost may not have been available to them.
Staff remained on site the whole day, ensuring any children who needed assistance had individual support. As a group we had so much fun and built new skills for the future.
