Family Holiday Charity

Who we are

We help families get time away together, often for the first time ever.

We're here for children living near the coast, who've never seen the sea. For teenagers who can't remember when they last saw mum smile. For parents having to choose between a day out and a new pair of school shoes. For young carers, and families facing illness, isolation, or bereavement.

Holidays open up new possibilities. There’s time to reconnect, to try new things, and to make happy memories together. Time for running, playing, climbing trees and flying kites, time for picnics and bare feet. There’s time enough to share a laugh and watch the tide come in - for buckets and spades and sandy sandwiches.

Family Holiday Charity - a gift that lasts a lifetime. 

Our culture and values

Our values guide our behaviours and actions, to help us achieve these goals:

• Positive – we bring creativity, innovation and energy to our work. We focus on what can be achieved and we enjoy going beyond what people expect.
• Curious – we ask questions and we want to know why? We seek out new ideas and are prepared to try and fail because that’s how we learn.
• Purposeful – we are committed to our shared goals and we take deliberate decisions to progress towards them. We are proactive and considerate.
• Dynamic – we adapt to the world around us and we look ahead to anticipate change. We are nimble and responsive.
• Mindful – we listen and use what we learn to transform lives. We care about families, our supporters and each other.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Our focus on EDI recognises and values the differences in each of our employees, trustees, beneficiaries, referrers, and supporters.

We live in and support a very diverse society, and we want Family Holiday Charity to truly reflect the people we support and the communities we serve.

Our aim is to improve equity, diversity, and inclusion across the organisation and lead the way to influence change across the charity sector.
