A brief history
The Newman Holiday Trust
- The Newman Trust was established in 1981.
- It is named after Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801-1890), well known for his work for the wellbeing of children everywhere, and canonised as a saint in 2019.
- It began by running a one week summer holiday for children with special needs.
- The first holiday was held at St Bede's School in Staffordshire.
- We built up to running sevenholidays at different places around the UK, depending on the availability of venues.
- We registered voluntarily with OFSTED and for several consecutive years we have been rated outstanding in all areas.
