Family Holiday Charity – CEO

Making memories happen

The Family Holiday Charity helps families get time away together, often for the first time ever.

We're here for children who've never seen the sea. For teenagers who can't remember when they last saw mum smile. For parents and carers juggling paying bills and facing life's toughest challenges. We support young carers, grandparent carers, and families facing illness, isolation, or bereavement.

Holidays offer new possibilities. Time spent together, even for a day, helps build relationships, confidence, and hope for the future.

About Family Holiday Charity

Our vision is to transform lives through the anticipation, enjoyment, and memories of holidays. Our mission is to give families the chance to enjoy time together, explore, have new experiences, meet new people, and have fun!
