Our Achievements
Frank Harrop Lodge
Has been re-roofed and all the windows have been replaced with double glazing, plus an accessible toilet & washing facilities. The latter was part funded by £2,000 from Tesco bags for Life having come second in the Altrincham blue token scheme.

In 2020, just before the campsite closed because of the pandemic, we contributed a third of the cost of the new Adventure Playground for Scouts, to compliment the existing equipment aimed at Beaver and Cub ages.
