CREATING HAPPY MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME
We want the families we support to experience amazing moments together. Situated in the Essex countryside, our holiday home is the perfect place to relax and spend quality time together as a family.
With three bedrooms, so plenty of room for everyone, and a beach nearby, the lodge is also fully accessibly – adapted to the needs of those we support.
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO MADE NOAH’S ARK ON HOLIDAY POSSIBLE
Thank you so much to The Edward Gostling Foundation, whose generous support enabled us to make this project a reality.
And thank you to our friends Variety Gold and The Winter Ball Committee, whose donation of a fully accessible minibus has enabled us to drive families to the lodge.
“Magnus enjoyed himself immensely and came forward in his development whilst there, doing some things that he hadn’t done before. This was a great chance to be away from home and have some stress free family time.”
