    Story

    Our purpose is to provide a week's seaside caravan holiday for six families affected by the recent terrible fire. We hope this will give them a chance for a restorative break away from the stresses and anxieties caused by the tragedy.

    We are working through the local school which serves this community, and which lost a pupil and a member of staff in the blaze.
    The caravan is on a peaceful site, where residents are already preparing welcome packs of toys and essential food.

    Our aim is to make the holiday an outstanding memory in troubled times.

      Dear Friends' In addition to the generous donations through Just Giving, we have received many gifts directly from individuals and especially through churches; and also offers in kind from businesses covering important elements of the project. All of this means we are going forward confidently with the holiday programme. A big THANK YOU to you, for all your support and backing for this project, not forgetting the good people who have given us personal support throughout. . We now close down this account.
