About Family Holiday Charity

Family Holiday Charity funds holidays for families facing hardship, working through registered charities across the UK. Rooted in the belief that every family deserves a break, the charity provides respite and positive memories for those affected by poverty, domestic abuse, mental health challenges, caring responsibilities, disability, or physical health issues. Their funding character is focused on delivering direct holiday experiences, prioritising families who have not had a holiday together in recent years and have a low household income. The charity operates UK-wide, supporting registered charities to organise these breaks.

What Family Holiday Charity funds

The charity funds holidays (events) for families facing adversity, including poverty, domestic abuse, mental health issues, caring roles, disability, and physical health problems. It prioritises families with a low household income, at least one child under 18, and who have not had a holiday together in the last four years. Work is supported across the whole of the UK, with the aim of providing respite and reconnection for families in need.

Who can apply

Only registered charities can apply for funding. They must be working with families that meet the criteria: low household income, no recent holiday together, and at least one child under 18. The charity welcomes unsolicited applications from registered charities across the UK, with no organisational income or size limits stated.

How they like to fund

The charity provides funding for one-off holiday events, not multi-year commitments. They accept unsolicited applications from registered charities on a rolling basis, focusing on delivering direct holiday experiences for families.
