We are asking for donations towards the booking as we would like to run a "Pay it forward" system with a minimum £8per child, however if you are able to, you can donate more . The "Pay It Forward" system encourages individuals to perform acts of kindness for others, creating a chain reaction of goodwill and generosity. Enabling those who would not normally be able to send their children to such activities, to participate.
As such, refunds will not be issued if you wish to cancel your child's place. Your generous donation will enable a family who are less financially able to attend activities at Clitterhouse Farm.
