The Principle Trust Children's Charity is a dedicated Yorkshire-based charity that supports children who face significant challenges, whether due to mental health challenges, trauma, abuse, poverty, serious illness or disabilities. By offering free week-long respite breaks; our much-needed breaks are proven to enhance mental health and wellbeing, strengthen family relationships, and provide relief from the daily struggles many of these families endure.

The need for our work has never been greater. Child poverty in Yorkshire is at its highest level in over 20 years, with 31% of the region's children—around 400,000—living in poverty. The impact of poverty is even more severe for families with disabled children, who often face additional hardships. At The Principle Trust, we believe every child deserves a fair, inclusive, and happy life, regardless of their circumstances.

We partner with charities, local authorities, social services, and schools to reach families most in need, offering them a chance to escape their troubles and create lasting memories. With seven holiday homes, we provide 277 families each year with these essential breaks. By supporting our charity, you're helping us continue this vital work, ensuring that Yorkshire's most vulnerable children have the opportunity to experience joy and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Our 100% donation policy means every penny raised from events will be used to support Yorkshire's children in need. Our target for 2025 is to buy our eighth holiday home so that we can help more children who have suffered through Adverse Childhood Experiences . This will enable us to help more of Yorkshire’s most vulnerable children to escape their troubles and make memories that last.
