Edinburgh University's Children's Holiday Venture

Children’s Holiday Venture (CHV) is a volunteering society run by students from the University of Edinburgh. They began in 1963 and aim to provide a safe, supportive and fun environment for the children and young people they work with. They work with approximately 140 children between the ages of 8-17 who have been referred by social workers, schools and GPs. Their mission is to improve the children’s emotional wellbeing, confidence and social skills through free fortnightly activity evenings, day trips and residential camps.
