Every year our Trust volunteer carers and nurses provide supported holidays to almost 700 young people with additional needs. They bring 450 young people to Lourdes in France at Eastertime and a further 250 join our Friendship Weeks holidays here in Ireland. Over the past year we were unable to provide these holidays due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, hundreds of people with additional needs have missed out on this unique and wonderful experience. We are now planning to run these special supported holidays later this summer and to travel to Lourdes next Easter 2022. Your support is vital to help pay for the young people. Your donation will contribute directly to the costs for the young people as ALL our volunteers pay their own costs and donate some of their annual leave to help and support others. The two short videos below give a snapshot about our Friendship Weeks holidays here in Ireland and Lourdes in France.
