Story

Dr Jay G Chitnis died peacefully on 6 December 2022 aged 90 and his wish was that any donations in his memory should go to the Newman Holiday Trust. Often referred to as the grandfather of the Trust he was a constant supporter and very proud of its achievements. Many of his children and grandchildren, relatives and friends have helped on the holidays. It is fitting that part of his legacy is to support those most in need. Thank you for your support.

About the charity

The Newman Holiday Trust

RCN 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.
