Risk and Assurance Committee Member About Camp Simcha

Camp Simcha supports children with serious illnesses and their families, helping to ease some of the practical, emotional and social challenges they face. We are seeking volunteers to join our Risk and Assurance Committee. Committee members help identify, monitor and manage risks across the organisation, supporting strong governance, safeguarding and compliance practices. Committee meetings take place periodically throughout the year, with some preparation and follow up work as required.

Camp Simcha exists to improve the quality of life of children suffering from cancer or other life threatening illnesses. Our mission is to ensure that no such child, anywhere in the UK, has to suffer without us. Our support extends to children from 0 to 18 years of age, with any form of cancer or any other condition that represents a threat to life. These conditions include muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, many rare genetic conditions such as dysautonomia, serious heart conditions and uncontrolled seizures. Camp Simcha is unique in that we provide 24/7 support to families who have the heart ache of dealing with an ill child. Throughout the year, we provide a wide range of services designed to provide both practical and emotional support to parents. We make a critical difference to children through powerful positive experiences.
