| Children's Holiday Venture works with approximately 120 children who are between the ages of 8 and 16 years old. They live in Niddrie, Craigmillar, Bingham, Pilton, Muirhouse and Granton areas of Edinburgh. These areas are noted as having higher levels of unemployment, poorer housing and less recreational facilities than the Edinburgh average (OPCS 2001) and thus may be considered as having significant levels of social exclusion.

In addition to fortnightly activities, Children's Holiday Venture ensures that each group of children has either a day-trip or a weekend camp every term. Our weekend camps are held at outdoor centres throughout Scotland, while the day-trips are usually closer to home. The cost of all these activities is covered by CHV.

If you were a member of one of our groups, please get in touch - CHV would love to hear from you! Contact us via the Kids Message Board
