    Situation

    Our fully refurbished respite homes are fully booked for 2010. The homes are situated in California Sands in Scratby, Norfolk, and Cala Gran Park in Fleetwood, Lancs. The homes have fantastic amenities including their own swimming pools and children's entertainment. Many of our parents who have been selected for a holiday have had to give up employment to become full time carers to their children. For this reason we have decided to grant each family a one week stay with £250 spending money to cover provisions and travel expenses. Any help that you can provide with this appeal would be greatly appreciated, as we have families booked in from March-September. This works out at a cost of approx £14,000. You will also appreciate that we also need to raise a yearly sum of £3,200 for site fees, which covers cleaning, annual membership to on site facilities such as swimming pools, clubhouse entertainment, and site run leisure activities for the whole family to participate in. Any donation no matter how large or small will be greatly appreciated during the current economic climate.
