About the Charity:

Over The Wall Camp Children s Charity has been providing transformational residential camps for seriously ill children and their families for 25 years, propelling forward the vision of the charity s founder, Hollywood actor Paul Newman. As the charity grows, its current model of operation is no longer sufficient for its needs, and the organisation is now embarking on an exciting and ambitious campaign to redevelop a former boarding school in the Midlands, known as Ockbrook School. The acquisition of Ockbrook will enable the charity to significantly scale up its operation and support 3,000 beneficiaries per year, as well as provide the community with a state-of-the-art facility for wider use.
