CEO of Belgravia Foundation Dr Jeff Walkley has applauded this partnership in support of connecting youth in need to camping, as evidence is clear of the lasting impact of such experiences on the life skills of young people.’

The Portsea Camp also has a major focus on creating pathways for children who experience disadvantages and children with disabilities.”
