Storm damage has led to our Laavu area needing repairs 😢

We are obviously sad they are out of action but as always we see this as an opportunity 🙌

We have a great team of volunteers working on this area, and will keep you updated on timescales as the year progresses ♥️

Here’s one of our wonderful team clearing the area for better access 😊

If you choose to volunteer with us there are a wide variety of roles you can do, skills you can bring or skills you can learn

Thank you as always to our volunteers - do you fancy joining the team? Always space for more skills just speak to any of our current team or email [email protected]

Our Team Bispham volunteers are a diverse lot!

They cover cleaning toilets, running a shop, maintenance, construction, administration, car park duties, marshalling, litter picking, wood work, and a whole host of other things 🥰

This week they’ve demonstrated their skills in repairing our ride on mower - with the front axle needing to be removed, repaired and refitted. Those fields aren’t that good without this essential piece of kit !

Thank you as always to our volunteers - do you fancy joining the team? Always space for more skills just speak to any of our current team or email [email protected]

Keeping camp 🏕️ safe, one fire bucket at a time
Our safety points across Bispham Hall have been refreshed — the small, practical details that we hope help every group feel confident and cared for from the moment they arrive.

A quiet thank‑you to the Team Bispham volunteers who make sure these essentials are always ready, so you can be confident that your stay will be safe, welcoming, and full of adventure 🙌
