We need your help to enable us to provide disadvantaged children with respite breaks which are so crucial to a child's development. We'd like to fund activities for the children we work with and provide numerous activities designed to improve their self-esteem, confidence and most importantly - be fun!

Many of the children who we support each week have not had a break in years - it is simply not affordable. They may be children growing up in poverty; they may be victims of abuse, neglect, bullying and isolation or they may be witness to drug or alcohol abuse. We all know how important it is to have a break from the usual routine and an opportunity to de-stress.The children will enjoy the activities, returning refreshed to their daily routine, which for some can be all-consuming.

Our breaks allow children to benefit immediately from improved physical, mental and emotional well-being. For many of the children these benefits will also last well into their lives as we know from research that a break can have a lasting impact on a child's life; providing relief from stress and the ability to face the future more positively.
