Attain Travel
Christmas Camps 2021 It was a busy week leading up to Christmas over at the Community Trust, with 165 children attending Christmas camps at St. Andrew’s as well as Bishop Wilson Primary School in Chelmsley Wood. The children were provided with free school meals across the four days and took part in a variety of arts and crafts, laser tag within the Gil Merrick concourse and multi-sports activities. For the camp at the stadium, the children were surprised by the Blues mascots Beau and Belle who delivered selection boxes to all of those who attended.
The Community Trust would like to say a massive thank you to Attain Travel who are the Trust’s main ambassadors this year and provide transport for their full-time education programme taking the students to training every week. Attain Travel has developed an extremely positive relationship with the Trust, and they are very grateful for the high-quality service provided. Throughout what has been a challenging year with the pandemic, Attain Travel have ensured that students are transported safely across Birmingham to all venues. The Trust is looking forward to continuing this relationship moving into 2022 and beyond. For any travel enquiries, please contact enquiries@attaintravel.com.
