Leeds
Children’s Holiday Camp Association has
been providing free holidays to Leeds primary school
children in need at Silverdale, Morecambe, for over
100 years. This highly respected registered charity
survives upon the support of donations and a grant from
Leeds City Council. The Lady Mayoress
of Leeds is the President of the charity by rite
of her Civic position and tradition, subject to her
consent.
From
March until September over 275 children every year
enjoy a five-day break by the sea. The centre provides
respite for children from low income families, families
suffering from illness or children who spend their
time as an unpaid carer.
Leeds
Children’s Holiday Camp Association
is run by a Board of Trustees which is bound by the
charity’s governing Constitution and Rules.
There are currently 14 Trustees who are all actively
promoting the purpose of the charity, and who work
continually to raise awareness and much needed funds
and resources.
The
charity’s accounts are audited annually, and
these accounts can be seen on the Charity Commission’s
website, www.guidestar.org.uk.
The
names of all the current Trustees together with copies
of the Constitution and audited accounts are all available
at the charity’s office in Leeds should anyone
wish to see them.
