Family Stories

Every family needs time together to have fun, try new things, and see each other smile. We know that families who get away together, grow together – into stronger happier, and more confident families.

But for families going through really tough times, going on holiday can feel out of reach. Even a short break can make the world of difference to a child who’s never seen mum smile, shared laughter with their family, or spent a whole day having fun.

Katy's Story

Single mum Katy and her 20-month twin girls enjoyed their first holiday in Morecambe. They created cherished memories on the beach, and gained confidence from the holiday.

Tania's Story

Tania and her two children have been adjusting to life without a dad, after he passed away following a heart attack. Their holiday to the Isle of Sheppey gave the family their first opportunity to relax and smile for a long time.

Sharon's Story

Sharon has been taking care of her granddaughter, Gracie who has complex needs. They had a much-needed holiday and created happy memories together in Morecambe.

Fathima's Story

Fathima and her children found peace and joy on their holiday to Clacton-on-Sea. Days on the beach and evenings spent together brought laughter and precious moments away from hospital routines. This much-needed break gave them time to relax, reconnect, and simply be a family. They returned home feeling rested, uplifted, and full of treasured memories.
