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

Hello and thanks for visiting my fundraising page!

A few months ago Tiina Delmonte at my work suggested we did a "fun" ride from London back to Bristol, for some reason I agreed. Another friend Kate was also keen and fit thus completing our all girl team.

The trip has been booked so all that is left is for me to get some further motivation by getting sponsored.

The Newman Trust is a charity I came across through Tom Williams- an old course mate/ housemate/ all round motivator. Myself and many others have even been recruited by Tom to help out on the holidays themselves. It's all about providing a great holiday for deserving children and a rest for their carers. If you want to find out more about the charity please check out http://newmantrust.org/.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Newman Trust for the Handicapped gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Hope you feel motivated to help!

Tuesday 23rd June, Update

We did it! Thanks to everyone who sponsored me it did help the focus much appreciated. We ended up cycling 180 miles over the three days, bit more than we had originally planned but the ride went beautifully- no mechanical issues, only a few falls and plenty of sunshine, happy days :-)
