Magic Moments @ HopScotch

For over 26 years, Hopscotch has welcomed more than 7,000 children to our Ardvullin holiday centre—children who might never have experienced beyond their local area. Our "Magic Moments" campaign is dedicated to providing unforgettable experiences.

HopScotch provides free respite breaks for young people living in Scotland who have no other chance of a holiday. Our respite breaks take place at Ardvullin where children participate in a programme of educational and fun activities that help develop confidence, self-esteem, and social skills.

Story

Our respite breaks are not merely holidays; they are transformative, life-affirming experiences that build confidence, create cherished memories, and reinforce the belief that every child truly matters.
