Penelope Keith releases 121 balloons in Waterloo

Over the past 121 years Children's Country Holidays Fund has provided holidays in the countryside for nearly two million disadvantaged London children.

Every year some 200 volunteers take on the challenge of running the charity's children's activity holidays and weekend breaks. Without volunteers the work CCHF does to improve the quality of life for disadvantaged London children would simply not be possible.
