We help families get time away together, often for the first time ever.

We’re here for families’ children who have never seen the sea, for teenagers who can’t remember when they last saw their mum smile. For parents having to choose between a day out and a new pair of school shoes. For young carers, kinship carers, families facing illness isolation and bereavement.

Holidays open up new possibilities. There’s time to reconnect, to try new things, and to make happy memories together. Time for running, playing, climbing trees and flying kites, time for picnics and bare feet. There’s time enough to share a laugh and watch the tide come in - for buckets and spades and sandy sandwiches.

Once we find out what each family needs, we take care of all the details. That way families can take care of the most important thing - each other.

Families choose the holiday they need. It could be a caravan on the coast, a woodland adventure, or a day out at a theme park, museum or farm. And whatever the weather, if it means time spent together, even a day’s holiday helps build relationships, confidence and hope for the future.

Up to 18 years

All families must be referred by someone working with them in a supporting role. This ensures the organisation assists those who need the help most and means families get the support they need to prepare for their break. Referrers can work or volunteer for a variety of organisations including schools, children/family services, children's centres, other charities, refuges and domestic abuse support services, faith groups, housing associations, or community health teams.

Families must be on a low income (household income of less than £24000 a year) have at least one child under 18 and have not had a holiday in last year years.
