Caring for a child with special needs can be an enormous responsibility, financially, physically and mentally. Many families have to exist on benefits, unable to take on paid work because of the demands of providing round the clock care for a highly dependent child. Such families rarely, if ever, get the chance to take a holiday together.

Happy Days will pay for a special needs youngster and their family to go on holiday. This gives the whole family a break and gives them the opportunity to enjoy quality time together in an environment which can cater for their child's disabilities.

From April 09 - March 10 we organised and funded 398 family holidays and 486 children went on a group activity holiday.
