Raising money for

The Newman Holiday Trust

Charity Registration No. 326429

Established in 1981, the Newman Holiday Trust began by running a one week summer holiday for children with special needs. The Trust now provides holidays for about 130 children with special needs aged four to sixteen each year, in various locations around the UK. Due to the high level of skilled care they require or financial circumstances, the children selected for these breaks would not otherwise receive a holiday. The holidays provide a range of fun activities in a safe and supportive environment and use a care ration of one helper to one child at all times.

The Trust is an entirely voluntary organization and owes its success to over 200 people who dedicate their free time to helping these children. This voluntary structure ensures that every penny raised goes directly towards a child's holiday.

My story

Hi there!

Ros and I are running this half marathon on sunday 27th September.

It would be great if you could sponsor us. All the donations will go to The Newman Trust for the Handicapped. It's a great charity which helps disabled or disadvantaged children. http://newmantrust.org

Neither of us has ever run that far before so I'm not sure how fast we'll be. I think if the weather's hot our target will be simple survival. Please sponsor us and spur us on to glorous, erm, survival...

And please remember to include 'Gift Aid' if you are a UK taxpayer.

Many thanks!
