The Oakley Waterman Caravan Foundation provides respite breaks at two Haven parks in England for children suffering from life threatening illnesses. Our caravans are well equipped and away from the normal routine children can enjoy a short break with holiday type entertainment for the whole family.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.The Oakley Waterman Caravan Foundation was started by Dave and Lorraine Waterman from Gosport shortly before their six-year old son Oakley died of a rare form of cancer called Rhabdomysarcoma in 2005. It was while enjoying precious time together staying in a caravan at Church Farm Holiday Village at Pagham near Chichester that Oakley announced his wish.


He wished that they could purchase a caravan at Church Farm, which he loved so much, so it could also be used by other children, who are suffering with similar life threatening illnesses. Enabling them to enjoy time away from the normal daily routine and hospital scene, to enjoy have a short break with entertainment for the family. So the parents agreed to their sons only wish and with the help of some friends a caravan was purchased at the site in 2005. In 2007 a second caravan was purchased at another Haven site overlooking the sea at Devon Cliffs near Exeter.
