Story

I’m fundraising for the Newman Trust!

My glorious friend Zoe Walkington volunteers for a week a year at the Trust but I just found out today that volunteers have to raise the £12k a go it takes to put these amazing holidays on.   

And as I’m on a 6 day countdown to the London Triathlon it seems the perfect opportunity to raise some money to help Zoe and the Trust.

The Trust provides holidays for over 120 children with disabilities and special needs aged 4-16 each year and 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.

So please dig deep – a quid will help, more if you can and I will swim, bike and run my socks off!

Thank you.

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.
