Story

The Family Holiday Association is the only national charity dedicated to provide seaside breaks and day trips for families coping with some of the toughest challenges life can bring. They help UK families struggling with problems such as mental health issues, severe and long term illness, bereavement, disability and domestic violence.
They need our support and donations to help as many families as possible.
we'll do the marathon again, if you can spare just £1 to this amazing charity.

The short breaks offered help individual families to spend a few nights in a caravan on a holiday park at the British Seaside. Day trips are typically a simple day out at the seaside, local tourist attraction or museum. The majority of families have never been on a family holdiay before, and a third of children have never seen the sea! ....surely that's worth a donating a few pound?!

So why do they need support and donations? Evidence shows that the work the FHA does results in stronger, healthier and happier families. Every day they are reminded of how a simple break from daily struggles can be life - changing for the families.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and we really appreciate your support and generosity, especially as we know so many of you supported us last year. Whatever you can afford to give will make a real difference to reach more children and their families living with mental health issues.
