Request Details
As in previous years, we are planning to take our Farsi Christian Discipleship group camping. This is a group of refugees and asylum seekers who meet each week in Plymouth and very much appreciate our annual holiday together camping and being introduced to local places where they can go for fun and relaxation, not only for the 3 days of our camp, but also where they can visit in the future and enjoy our beautiful location to relax and be refreshed. 
As the weather is so great for half term, we are going to seize this opportunity now and will camp at Mendennick Farm near Whitsand Bay from Wednesday 31st May to Friday 2nd June. The funds from POP will enable all the asylum seekers to join us for free and those with  refugee status to come for a subsidised rate. The POP grant will cover the cost of the campsite and food and maybe an ice cream or two as well! If there is any money left over from this trip, then we will plan a second trip in the Summer holidays.
