Harvest Trust

Harvest Trust is a national UK charity which organises simple seaside
holidays for disadvantaged children.

The holidays take place between April and October each year and are
specially for groups of 8 to 11 year olds who really need a week away.

Based at the Trust's own Holiday Centre near Cardigan Bay in West
Wales, the holidays are arranged in partnership with schools, youth
and community groups.

Since 1986 we've developed a unique and effective holiday experience
for children in real need of a break.

There can be many reasons why a child might need a Harvest Trust
holiday. The most common needs are low family income, poor environment
and traumatic lives. Some children need a break from neglect, violence
or caring for a sick parent.

Harvest Trust specialises in simple, 'no pressure' holidays which
particularly benefit withdrawn children with low self esteem who need
space and encouragement to build confidence.

However, it is important to stress that the holidays are not suitable
for children with attention deficit disorders or other behavioural
problems. These children need holidays with a one to one adult to
child ratio.

Please send your application to them as soon as you can.

Final Closing date for holiday applications is 31 January 2008
