Respite Holidays for Family impacted by Poverty

Our goal is to create happy family memories and provide respite holidays for family impacted by poverty. Over 70% of the families we support have additional disability needs and in 2024 67.5% had never been on holiday before

We provide respite holidays for families impacted by poverty to help create happy family memories and reduce the likelihood of family breakdown whilst providing children with aspirational opportunities, mental wellbeing benefits and access to new experiences and environments

Story

The Getaway Foundation (TGAF) main purpose is to help families in poverty create happy memories through respite holidays. Supporting disadvantaged families living in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and the Isle of Wight.

Thank you for supporting us. Example family impact:

“Watching the children so full of happiness just filled my heart with so much joy. You really have given us a priceless gift”. 4th June 2023

"Thank you for making this happen for us, it has been a really challenging and traumatic year for us…the holiday has given us all something to hold on and look forward to. I can’t put into words how very grateful I am” - Summer 2023

“Thank you for the incredible memories, relaxation and the opportunity to re-charge, spend time together and enjoy a family holiday. Your support made having a holiday possible, accessible and took away all the financial pressure, anxiety and logistical challenges that have stopped us being able to go on holiday as a family of 3”

We have provided over 268 respite breaks / holidays for families impacted by poverty since 2021
