Established in 1981, the Trust began by running a one week summer holiday for children with special needs. The Trust now provides holidays for over 120 children with disabilities and special needs aged 4-16 each year, in various locations around the United Kingdom.
Due to the high level of skilled care they require or financial circumstances, the children selected for these breaks would not otherwise receive a holiday. The holidays provide a range of fun activities in a safe and supported environment and use a care ratio of one helper to one child at all times.
The Trust is an entirely voluntary organisation and owes its success to over 200 people who dedicate their free time to helping these children. This voluntary structure ensures that every penny raised goes directly towards a child’s holiday.
We are always in need of funds and volunteers! We are also keen to help the most deserving young people and families.

Looking for ideas and where to look for a residential project for Queens Scout Award? I can’t think of anything and I can’t seem to find suggestions, please help!
Thanks in advance

The Newman Holiday Trust offers this opportunity. You spend a week working 1-1 with a young person with disabilities. It’s a fab experience and I’d happily tell you more! Www.newmantrust.org
