application forms for a family break in 2008 are no longer available for download.
 

Please note that applications are only accepted from welfare agents* and not directly from families. 

*Welfare agent is the term we use to describe social workers, health visitors, schools, GPs, other charities who can receive monies on behalf of the family, support them in preparation of the holiday and provide feedback following the break. (See Application Notes)

We consider such applications on a ‘first come, first served basis’ and anticipate that welfare agents will begin to be notified between January and April 2008 - refer to the Frequently Asked Question sheet below.  Grants will only be allocated if our criteria are met and if funds are available.

 

 

All applicants need to meet the following criteria

  1. The family is on a low income

  2. The family has not been on holiday for the past four years

  3. The family has at least one child of three years of age or over

If you have a child with a severe disability you should know about the Family Fund!

 

The Family Fund provides help to families with severely disabled or seriously ill children.   Their annual budget of £30 million is funded by the four UK national governments and last year the Fund spent £15million of their budget helping over 25,000 families have a holiday. They realise, like the FHA, how important holidays are to families under stress. Visit their web site now www.familyfundtrust.org.uk
