Residential Trips
The primary purpose of the Lincolnsfields Children’s Centre Charity is to provide group residential facilities for children/young people for school journeys, holidays or training events.
The Centre which re-opened in 2005 accommodates up to 80 children plus staff in purpose built ‘log cabin’ style dormitory accommodation. In addition there is a large dining hall, two classroom / meeting areas, T.V./ games lounge, arts & crafts room, medical room and outdoor play areas.
The complex is situated within our approximate 12 acre Green Belt site which includes a woodland area and a pond which can be used for environmental studies. Groups staying at the Centre can have planned access to our soft-play centre The Linconsfields Playzone and our indoor sports hall.
Safety is our primary concern and the new facilities were designed after consultation with the existing users (both children and staff) to ensure that children have an ‘experience which money couldn’t buy’ and that staff feel confident that their children are safe.
The Centre has full disabled access and facilities, enabling us to provide for the needs of all children.

Our programme – which is the only one of its kind in the U.K. can include one or two simple pre-visit classroom activities — making their own I.D. label and Gas Mask box (we can supply templates to booked groups) This can help to get them into role for when they arrive as an evacuee.
