Para 1.20 | Holidays and day trips that we provide may not otherwise be possible due to individual conditions of the children that we assist. We ensure that these are family events and cater for any requirements to make the events special.

This not only makes the day an unforgettable experience for the children involved but brings a vast increase of people to the area thus benefiting the local economy. |
