    At LIFEbeat, we recognise the importance of having a staff team that reflects the richness of our world and is representative of the young people we serve. We know our community ecosystem becomes stronger with diversity.

    We recognise not all members of our community are able to commit to a camp on a voluntary basis. As we seek to cultivate more equity and inclusion across our programmes, this year we are introducing a discretionary fee for members of our community who would like to participate in camps but are not in a position to volunteer.

    A payment for participation in camp is available to members of our community who are not in a position to volunteer. Up to £250 is available as a discretionary fee. There are a limited number of discretionary fees available. Fees will be allocated confidentially.

    Please indicate here if you are interested in discussing this option with us.
