Mhairi Stewart is raising money for The Newman Holiday Trust
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Baxters Loch Ness Marathon 2009 · 4 October 2009 ·

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.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

During a moment of madness I was talked into running the Loch Ness Marathon. A slightly foolish endeavour for a non runner but its done now and I need a little motivation in the form of donations!  

The Newman Trust is a small but amazing charity that takes 120 children with special needs on holiday every year.  I've volunteered with them since 2000 and know first hand what great work they do. To continue with this work we need to  raise around £300 per child and £10,000 per holiday.  The trust is run entirely by volunteers so any money donated will go directly to providing holidays.  For more information visit the webpage at: www.newmantrust.org
