Harvest Trust Holidays for Children 2009

Harvest Trust is a charity which provides free seaside holidays for groups of children in real need of a break. We specialise in simple, ‘no pressure’ holidays which particularly benefit withdrawn children with low self esteem who need space and encouragement to build self-confidence.

The holidays are for groups of twelve children between the ages of 8-11, and are based at the Trust’s own holiday centre in West Wales. All of the week-long holidays take place between April and September, and are organised in partnership with schools, community groups and child care organisations.

Harvest Trust provides all accommodation, transport and admissions free of charge. Your organisation need only buy food and provide three adult workers to accompany the children.

If your organisation works with children who fit our criteria, you can apply NOW to be a 2009 Holiday Partner.

For more information and an application form please Tel:01559 371190 or visit our website at www.harvesttrust.com
Closing date: 31 January 2009.
