This Easter, we're volunteering with HCPT Group 3 to take nine wonderful disabled children to France on holiday. This is my (Sophie's) third year spending Easter week in this way - and it's become the highlight of my year.

If you're visiting this page, it must mean you've come to A FLAT OUT FEAST - an HCPT Group 3 fundraising dinner at our flat. Thank you so much for joining us tonight! We hope you've had a delicious evening in delightful company.

We should've now been by with your bill for dinner as you will be donating that sum here. Naturally if you feel moved to donate more than your bill, we would be extremely grateful - but this is by no means expected.

We would love it if you could tick the *gift aid* option as this adds a free-for-you extra 25% contribution from the government to any donation. As you can imagine - this can tot up to make a significant difference to our final fundraising pot.

Scroll down to read more about the amazing work of HCPT Group 3 - and how your donation tonight will make a direct impact on the 2027 trip!

Help us take 9 children on a trip of a lifetime to Lourdes!

We are HCPT Group 3, a Gloucestershire-based charity dedicated to providing disabled children the chance to experience the magic of Lourdes, France. This Easter, we aim to take 9 children on a week-long pilgrimage, offering them a holiday full of joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Our target is £20,000. The children and families don’t pay a penny; this covers everything they need for the trip, from travel and accommodation to meals and activities. It also covers our training weekends for helpers, additional equipment, activity preparations, etc.

Here’s how your generosity can help:

- £1,500 sponsors an entire trip for one child; food, accommodation, activities, etc.

- £70 funds a café trip for the whole group (that's a lot of hot chocolate!).

- £18 covers a zoo visit, bringing smiles and wonder.

- £10 ensures a child can munch a pizza on our pizza day.

- £5 buys a refreshing ice cream treat on a sunny afternoon.
