GAP does not have a permanent funding stream or any State funding. Our Gift to GAP Appeal aims to help us maintain and provide clubs and camps that help make a big difference. These camps and clubs provide a safe social space for children (including siblings) and adults to have fun and socialise in a supportive atmosphere, while also giving family carers a break.
In the summer of 2017, GAP was able to provide a massive 4,080 Hours clubs and camps supporting children, young people and adults to make friends, try new things and build relationships in a safe and supportive environment.
