Louise's Story
Louise has a new sense of positivity and a refreshed outlook after her break.
This is something that hundreds more families tell us they experience too. Along with feeling less isolated and getting more involved in their community (around 84% tell us they experience this). 85% of families say their children are more engaged in school too.
Holidays are more than a moment
The memories last a lifetime and the impact of the holiday on individuals, families and communities is important.
Having had a break, Sheryle is a firm advocate too – “I want to show other women that change is achievable. I’m living proof."
