In 2013 we plan to provide 348 disadvantaged children, who have no other chance of a break away from their problems, with a week at Ardvullin. Using the HopScotch bus we collect children and user organisation staff from their home area on a Monday and return them back on a Friday. During their stay at Ardvullin children are given the chance to participate in a planned programme of educational and fun activities such as horse riding, canoeing, indoor climbing and mountain biking. They also visit local beaches, nature reserves and marine, wildlife and heritage centres. They learn about the countryside and seaside and about team work, tolerance and social and practical skills all in a supportive and caring environment. Children leave Ardvullin with an increased ability to address their own problems and overcome the hurdles they face in their everyday lives. GOOD CHILDHOOD MEMORIES LAST A LIFETIME
