Charlies-Angel-Centre Holiday Home

We feel bereaved parents & families would benefit from a short holiday away together. Not only does it provide them time to spend together, but also allows them to start grieving for their loss.

Story

We have been very lucky that for the last 4 years www.caravanrenting.com have allowed us to use one of their caravans for 1 week of the year to provide a holiday for a bereaved couple or family. We always have so many nominations for this holiday and making the decision of who should receive it is very difficult as everyone put forward deserves a break.We have come to the conclusion that now is the time for us to have our own holiday home, which means for the each holiday season we could offer 32 families 1 weeks holiday. Over the last year we have supported over 30,000 bereaved parents and families. All our services are free and as this year continues to be as busy as last, we know that having a short break won't mend broken hearts but hopefully by just giving families a little time out it will help them try to move forward with their lives.You can now see what it means to a family who went on a holiday this year   https://charlie29122012.blogspot.com/2018/09/last-week-we-were-able-to-send-winner.html
