Oundle Mencap Holidays

Support Us

Our supporters are the reason we can run our holidays every summer. We keep our fees as low as possible so that any child is able to take part – and this only happens because of the donations we receive throughout the year.

We are always looking for new and exciting ways to raise money for OMH, and we love hearing from people who want to support us. There are lots of ways you can help:

Fundraise for us

How You Can Make A Difference


£5 per month could bring a magician to our holiday for an evening of entertainment and practise-your-own-magic


£20 could help us purchase art materials for our craft sessions – or buckets and spades for our famous trip to Hunstanton Beach


£50 could help to pay for an afternoon’s canoeing on Rutland Water


£100 per month could cover all coach and minibus hire during our holidays, enabling us to take trips to wonderful places

Our Promise to Supporters

We are a registered charity. We are all volunteers but we strive to operate as professionals in everything that we do, including our fundraising efforts.

We take your support very seriously and we will thank you as soon as we hear about your donation. We hope you will be happy to hear from us occasionally about what you have helped us to achieve, but if you don’t want to hear from us, you can just let us know. We will keep your details safe and we won’t pass any of your information on to anyone else.
