The impact of Barretstown

At Barretstown we run residential camps for children with a serious illness, offering a range of adventurous and challenging activities and supported behind the scenes by safe, medical attention and care – always for free.

The medically endorsed Therapeutic Recreation programmes here at Barretstown are all about enabling children & families who are battling serious illnesses like cancer to have fun again. And through that fun we can begin to repair the damage that the illness has done.

Serious illness can bring the fun of being a child to a grinding halt. At Barretstown, we Press Play on childhood.
