We'd like to buy tents and equipment to help our members maintain our site and offer more opportunities for them to camp.

About this cause

Manchester County Senior Section comprises a group of 15 - 20 young women aged 14-21 plus their leaders. They meet for a weekend every month helping to maintain Seven Springs outdoor activity centre in Disley. The site is entirely run by volunteers so the contribution they make is invaluable. They learn a wide range of life skills such as DIY, using hand and power tools safely, garden and grounds maintenance, running events for our younger members, team work, independence and budgeting. Our members come a diverse range of backgrounds and some have been bullied at school/college so we offer them a safe place where they can all be themselves and make new friends. By doing this they help us to offer residential and outdoor opportunities to children from across the area and beyond.

How this cause brings people in the community together

By expanding our membership we can offer more young people the opportunity to join our group which will mean that more of them will gain the skills outlined above. They can share these skills with other local groups and members of the community. By having more members and more equipment our group will be able to take on more tasks which will further improve our site and the chances for visitors.
