In
2007 the Coombes Trust – one of our most generous funders – lent us
one of their houses in Westgate-on-Sea for the youngest children
aged 2 – 5 to have a week’s holiday by the sea. They have been kind
enough to offer this again in 2008.
Every year we take 30 children aged 5 – 12 to Froxfield in
Hampshire. For most of the children, these holidays provide them
with their first trip to the seaside and their first encounter with
the countryside. They are hugely popular.
For the teenagers, there is an expedition to Snowdonia in August of
each year.
This is a wonderful challenge
for a group of teenagers who would not usually have this sort of
opportunity and is always a fantastic trip.
