React caravans are available to any family living in the UK who are caring for a gravely ill child, and who would otherwise be unable to access a respite holiday due to financial disadvantage.
The charity has provided hundreds of families with week-long respite breaks since the homes commenced service and React recently received a boost from the Kentown Wizard Foundation, who have generously funded brand new replacements to both the homes, ensuring React can keep providing holidays for families many years into the future.
React’s Head of Fundraising, Conor O’Donnabhain said:
“We are pleased to be able to offer holidays to families who so rarely have any break from the usual care routine of home.
“These breaks not only offer the chance to make precious memories as a family, but provide a much-needed outlet for leisure to the family as a whole, particularly siblings who are, understandably, often sidelined as parents prioritise the care of a seriously ill sibling.
“The caravans at Trecco Bay are React’s most popular destination and it is an honour to have the support of the Kentown Wizard Foundation, who have ensured the future of these holidays for the next few years at least”
Any family caring for a child diagnosed with a life-shortening illness is eligible for a React holiday. Visit www.reactcharity.org/applications for a step-by-step guide on how to apply, or call one of the team at 020 8940 2575.
