"“Many of our children come from large families, often with two or three generations sharing a house. Chellington provides an opportunity for these children to focus on themselves and enjoy being a child! The time at Chellington allows children to forge new friendships, try new things, talk about things they wouldn't normally talk about at school. All these things help the children to develop their self-confidence and encourages them to experience different things. Many of our children do not leave Queens Park so experiencing being in the countryside is often a new concept!”

- Head Teacher at Queen's Park Primary School, Bedford
"“When I visited Chellington for the first time I was awed by the location and views. Our children live in a deprived area of Luton; they don’t see nature and few have gardens. I wanted them to see the vastness of the countryside and to know there is so much more available to them than is found in their current world. At Chellington they can climb trees, walk across a field of cows and horses, sit round a campfire. It sparks their imagination and widens their horizons.”

"All of the children came back, growing in confidence and becoming more rounded children. I believe that the children gained more from this venue than they can from any of the other residential providers
