The Cleft Lip and Palate Ass is a national charity. We have recently appointed a dedicated children's co-ordinator to develop children and young peoples service. As part of the expanding service we want to increase the number of children's camps in the Scotland and want them to be in many locations and centres so that more children with a cleft lip and/or palate across Scotland can enjoy them. We need an individual to firstly research new activity centres within Scotland and then go and visit each activity centre and report on their suitability including location, cost, amenities and activity choices available.
