Protest camp offers holidays to families hit hard by austerity
A PROTEST camp near the site of the Magna Carta signing opened its doors yesterday to cash-strapped families in need of a summer holiday.
Newcomers to the Runnymede Ecovillage were offered free space to camp and plenty of activities so that those hit hardest by austerity could enjoy a break.
Previous visitors to Cooper’s Hill Forest in Surrey said that they would be returning this weekend after finding the stay at the self-sustainable campsite a “healing” experience.
