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

Event update 18th May 2009

Driving rain, glorious sunshine, biting headwinds, labyrinthine
woodland beauty, puncture pitt-stops, thigh-busting uphills and
adrenaline-shot downhills all played their part over two days as our
8-strong team of riders successfully pedalled their way across 90
miles of New Forest terrain.

Massive thanks for all your generous sponsorship over the past few
weeks. At a time when money is in short supply, our charity is
incredibly grateful to all of you for enabling us to still provide
life-changing holidays for disabled and disadvantaged children. This
site will be online until mid August so please do pass on the link to
as many people as possible to help us meet and hopefully exceed our
target.

Thanks again from all the team: Mike, Des, Kerrie, Ed, Nina, Miguel,
John & Tissy.

***********************

Pre-ride :

On 16th/17th May, a group of volunteers from the Newman Holiday Trust will be cycling their way around the New Forest in aid of the charity. The group will be setting off from Deerleap on Saturday morning, cycling all day, collapsing into youth hostel beds that night and riding all of Sunday back to their starting point. Sore buttocks guaranteed or your sponsorship money back.

Our charity needs to raise £60,000 per year to afford its life changing holidays- that's about £400 per child- and we rely solely on donations and fundraising events like this to make the holidays possible. Please sponsor whatever you can afford, and if you can, please send your family, friends and colleagues a link to this page.

Big thanks for your support.
