Welcome to "Free To Be You", a new blog from Camp Quality UK!!

Camp Quality UK provides life-changing holidays for children with cancer (and other life-threatening illnesses). We believe that every child has the right to a positive childhood and everything their peer group takes for granted.

On this blog, we aim to bring you all the news on the charity, the works it does and the children it helps. We will also use it as a record of the holidays that we run each year with words, photos, and videos all adding to the experience of the children, their families and anyone else who wants to join in with the fun!

And if the kids are very, very good we'll be letting them write their own posts as well :)

Why "Free To Be You"? Well, through attending Camp Quality holidays children are able to exist in an environment where having the things that they have experienced are considered "normal", where they can discuss their experiences with other children who have gone through similar challenges, and where they are in a positive environment in which self-esteem is increased and they conquer new challenges.

Most importantly though, they have the time of their lives and are free to "be" themselves!

So we hope that you enjoy reading this blog, finding more about the charity and the work it does, and seeing what a major difference to children's lives that thse holiday's make. If you have any sugggestions of what you'd like to see, please let us know.

If you feel like it, click on the purple button on the right-hand side of the blog and donate however much you want to the charity. You know it will be going to a good cause, you'll be able to see the impact it makes through this blog, and you might even get a mention and a thank you from the children on this blog!
