Story
After finding a new love for running this year and coming so far in just 4 months, I signed up for a half marathon this year and applied for the London Marathon. I missed out on a ballot place so began applying for charity places as I'm determined to run the marathon and raise money and awareness for a charity than I can be passionate about. I really wanted it to be something that supports mental health as its very close to my heart. Please see the information I've copied from their website to see how they help families make unforgettable memories, helping their mental health, even just for a short time while going through tough times.
We help families get time away together, often for the first time ever.
We’re here for families’ children who have never seen the sea, for teenagers who can’t remember when they last saw their mum smile. For parents having to choose between a day out and a new pair of school shoes. For young carers, kinship carers, families facing illness isolation and bereavement.
Holidays open up new possibilities. There’s time to reconnect, to try new things, and to make happy memories together. Time for running, playing, climbing trees and flying kites, time for picnics and bare feet. There’s time enough to share a laugh and watch the tide come in - for buckets and spades and sandy sandwiches.
Once we find out what each family needs, we take care of all the details. That way families can take care of the most important thing - each other.
Families choose the holiday they need. It could be a caravan on the coast, a woodland adventure, or a day out at a theme park, museum or farm. And whatever the weather, if it means time spent together, even a day’s holiday helps build relationships, confidence and hope for the future.
