Summary

We fundraise through the year to offer children from Braehead, Knoxland and St Patrick Primary Schools a full week of fun activities in the summer at a very low cost. We do 5 day trips in the first week of August and it is run by groups of volunteers.

Description

The five day trips for 2025 will be as follows:

4th August - Clyde Valley Farm - £1,729.00

5th August - Blair Drummond Safari Park - £1,942.08

6th August - Kay park - Entry is free of charge

7th August - Heads of Ayr Farm Park - £1,548.00

8th August - M&D's Theme Park - £2656.00

The trip is priced based on 112 kids from P4-P7 from the three schools above and 28 adult volunteers. We require a registration area for each morning and evening for parents to drop and collect children, normally Dumbarton Academy, which was priced at £423.48 in 2024 but this also included the hire for Knoxland Primary on the first day as we had an activity day in the school last year rather than a day trip, but have changed that this year.

We also require buses each day travelling to and from the venues which cost £3,460 for four days in 2024 as we did not require buses on the first day due to the activities being local, so this price will increase in 2025.

Our Insurance to cover this was £223.79 in 2024 which I don't imagine will change much. We ask for a donation of £50.00 per child attending towards the cost.

It is a popular week and we always have a waiting list of kids who would like to attend but are unable to as 140 pax is our max capacity.
