What We Do
We provide a range of residential activity and respite breaks that allows children aged 7-11 to escape the traumas of their everyday life and simply become children again.
The children we help often experience:
-
Domestic violence
-
The effects of alcohol and drug abuse
-
Physical, emotional, neglect and sexual abuse
-
Dangerous environments and neighbourhoods
-
Social isolation
-
Bullying
-
Low self-esteem
-
Caring responsibilities
-
Severe poverty
How we help the children:
-
They go walking in the beautiful countryside
-
They swim in the sea and build sandcastles on the beach
-
They become more positive about their own capabilities and their future
-
They learn about the benefits of a healthy diet, exercise and table manners
-
They can develop new social skills by interacting with others
-
They play, learn and are cared for in safe and encouraging environments
-
They spend quality time with adults who provide positive role models
-
They grow in confidence by challenging themselves and trying new activities
-
They learn to be more independent and self sufficient
- They meet and make new friends

'' My wife and I boarded a train at East Croydon and observed a group of CCHF All About Kids, children heading down to Sussex for a break with their leader and volunteers. I was so impressed with what I saw that I decided there and then to support the charity.''
