Takethefamily.com in charity drive

Monday, 28 Sep, 2004 0

Takethefamily.com, the family travel website, will give £1 from every holiday sold on its website to help less fortunate families. Recently voted best new website by Web User, Take the Family has teamed up with the Family Holiday Association which helps give families, who are unable to have a holiday, a much-needed break.

Founding partner Andy Cook said: “Thousands of families in Britain can’t
have a holiday at all. Some simply can’t afford it while others miss out due
to disability, bereavement, abuse, depression and long-term illness.

“Every year the Family Holiday Association (FHA) enables some of these families to take a much-needed break. It seemed natural for Take the Family to associate itself with this charity and help in any way we can.”

The FHA is the only charity in the UK that specialises in helping provide holidays for families and children in need. Since its launch in 1975, the FHA has helped over 90,000 parents, children and young people to have a holiday.

This year the charity expects to help over 1,000 families who otherwise would not have been able to have a holiday. The charity also has a waiting list of over 800 families that it is unable to help.
