The holidays
Our holidays take place in carefully selected venues around the country. They last for roughly a week and are packed with fun and adventure!
Each holiday’s timetable is designed to cater for the tastes of a very wide range of children with varying interests and abilities.
Activities can include theme park and cinema trips, swimming, horse riding, bouncy castles, organised visits from the fire brigade and armed forces, magic and talent shows, discos and so much more besides. The holidays also allow for quieter, more relaxed moments, perhaps involving sensory play, arts and crafts or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Each holiday is run by volunteers, led by two holiday organisers. Every child has their own volunteer carer, and other “spare” volunteers are around to help out. Every holiday has at least one nurse to give the children whatever medication they may need, to support volunteers in providing for the children’s needs, and to make sure that we are all happy, healthy and active!
Here are the holidays we plan to run in 2018. You can also see them on our Google map.

VOLUNTEERS - PLEASE NOTE: Helpers arrive before the children in order to receive training and to set up the venue. They stay behind after the children have left in order to help tidy up. If you need to leave soon after the children have left, or have any other queries, please contact the relevant holiday organisers.
