Vision
For every care-experienced child to experience love, hope and safety
We are a Christian Charity.
The Christian church has been at the forefront of social charity since it began. Helping children in need is key to true faith. Whilst our work is based on a Christian ethos, Starfish KIDS Camps are for children of all faiths (or none). We train our volunteers to ensure all children feel safe and welcome regardless of religious or spiritual background. We prioritise safety, trauma-informed care, well-being and fun for every child participating in a Starfish KIDS Camp.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create life-changing moments for care-experienced children. Our five-day camps create a space where children who are supported by the local authority can develop healthy relationships, build trust, and find hope.
Our Programme Values
Every human has been created in the image of God, and as such deserves our best effort to honour and serve, going above and beyond to make every volunteer, every camper, every person feel like royalty.
No matter what each day brings, we focus on moving forward to brighter and better things. Failure comes to all of us, so it is important to focus not on that rough moment, but rather put our eyes on doing better, going higher, moving forward.
Each moment is an opportunity to reflect on a victory, lift up a friend, or learn a lesson. Moments matter, and we strive to make the best of every one.
Our Vision
We want every care-experienced child to experience unconditional love, hope, and safety. There are 382 local authorities in the United Kingdom. We are working hard for the day when every care-experienced child in every local authority has access to a Starfish KIDS Camp.
