Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. The Newman Trust runs week long holidays for disabled children aged 5-16 each year, in various locations around the UK. 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 Trust is a voluntary organisation ensuring that every penny raised goes directly towards a child’s holiday. 

Having experienced first hand the fantastic time the Newman Trust gives all that go on them, i wanted to do something special to help raise money towards them. With the holidays being held all over England and Scotland cycling Lands End to John O'Groats seemed worryingly appropiate. However with the ride approaching nearer and nearer the daunting prospect of cycling 960 miles in 9 days is growing so please support me by donating and hopefully it will help me get up some of those hills.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

About the charity

The Newman Holiday Trust

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 326429
Established in 1981, the Newman Holiday Trust began by running a one week summer holiday for children with special needs. The Trust now provides holidays for about 130 children with special needs aged four to sixteen each year, in various locations around the UK. 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 supportive environment and use a care ration of one helper to one child at all times. The Trust is an entirely voluntary organization 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.
