The family had a holiday which otherwise they could not afford
Written by Pat Burke'The family had a holiday which otherwise they could not afford. It gave them something positive to look forward to which they needed as they have had a very difficult. They loved the new holiday home, change of scenery and the many activities on offer especially the swimming pool.The referral process was simplified and did not embarrass the family in delving too much about their desperate financial circumstances. Your charity demonstrates wonderful compassion in these challenging times'.

The starter packs were more than that, very handy and appreciated. The facilities were excellent and the staff very helpful. The site was close to the town which allowed for some lovely walks. Both parents have asked me to thank you and your team personally as they had a great time and could not have asked for more from the beginning to end of the process for the holiday.‘
