About Kith & Kids We provide activities, opportunities, information and support for people with a learning disability or autism, their parents and siblings. For all our projects and activities we are dependent on volunteers. Our Summer Camp Wednesday 24th – Sunday 28th June We are currently looking for energetic and enthusiastic volunteers to join us on our action-packed residential Summer Camp. On the camp you will be supporting one of our members with a disability to have a holiday they won’t forget. What you'll do On the camp you and a fellow co-volunteers will support one of our members with a learning disability or autism for the 5 days. You’ll support and encourage them to take part in lots of exciting activities such as campfires, treasure trails, swimming, games nights, day trips to the seaside and much more. You’ll also help our members with their day-to-day routines and preparing our meals. Not only is it five days full of fun and games for you and our members, but you will also play a vital part in supporting them to develop their social skills in a day-to-day environment and of course, to enjoy a fantastic holiday! Come along and get involved! Male volunteers especially welcome (we need more)!!
