Beach Bute Camp Out September 2019
Following funding for Camping equipment some of our
young carers camped on the Isle of Bute in September.
We all had a great time, paddling in the water, collecting
wood for a camp fire, playing games and having fun!
We were lucky with the weather on the first day but
unfortunately had to pack everything away in the rain –but
it didn’t stop us running around and enjoying ourselves!
