Our vision A society in which the quality offamily life is enhanced throughequitable access to high value restand recreation regardless ofdisadvantage or poverty.

Our mission To work in partnership with othersto promote the quality of familylife for those parents and childrenwho experience disadvantage as aresult of poverty through theprovision of and by promotingaccess to holidays and otherrecreational activities.

Our objectives We believe that everyoneregardless of disadvantage shouldbe able to enjoy family lifethrough access to holidays andother recreational activities. Ourmain objectives are to:

● increase the number of familiesthat gain access to holidays

● research and promote the valueof holidays for familiesexperiencing disadvantage

● increase awareness of the scaleand scope of the problem oflack of access to holidays.

Do you remember your lastholiday? It probably wasn’t thatlong ago and you may well beplanning your next one. For most ofus an annual holiday is somethingthat we take for granted; wealways have one. But for hundredsof thousands of families a holiday isa necessity that they simply cannotafford. For some even a day-trip isbeyond their means.

We all need holidays Poverty is only one of the reasons preventing manyfamilies from taking a much-needed break. Long-term illness, chronic depression, family break-up,disability, unemployment or recent trauma can allmean that a family cannot take a holiday. Sadly it isoften those struggling to cope in the most difficultcircumstances and who cannot get away that wouldbenefit the most.

Holidays are good for us. They give us something tolook forward to, let us relax and unwind, allow us tomake new friends, experience new things and re-charge our batteries. In fact holidays are essentialfor our physical and emotional well-being. After a holiday life’s problems may often seemeasier to face.

The Family HolidayAssociationThe FHA is the only national charity in theUK dedicated to providing holidays todisadvantaged children and their families. Every year we send hundreds of familiesstruggling to cope with difficultcircumstances on much-needed breaks. Allthe families we support are trying to manageon a low income and have not had a holidayfor at least four years – in fact many havenever had a family holiday.

To help as many families as we can we offer different types ofholidays to suit differing needs.

Holiday centres: with our partners Haven, Butlins andBritish Holidays we provide one-week, self-cateringholidays in chalets and FHA caravans at UK seaside resorts.This is our most popular holiday option.

Direct grant: a one-off contribution towards any type ofholiday. Families chose their own holiday destination andbook the most convenient dates, for example a stay in aprivately rented cottage or a visit to relatives.

Short break: we offer three or four-night stays in self-catering accommodation at selected UK holiday parks.Short breaks particularly suit families who are not able togo away for a whole week due to caring or workcommitments.

Last minute break: occasionally companies, such asMasterSun Holidays, offer us holidays at short notice, eitherin the UK or overseas. This type of holiday suits familieswho are able to travel with only a few days’ notice.

Group holidays: we offer one-off contributions towardsholidays or day trips for a group of families, who organisethe break themselves.

We encourage families to become involved in choosing andorganising their trip, and we also contribute towardsholiday expenses, such as travel and treats for the children.

A staggering 1 in 3families cannot afforda one-week breakaway from home and1 in 5 cannot evenafford a day trip.

In 2005 we gave the Boveys aweek’s holiday in Skegness.

Social TourismThis year we commissioned more research from the PolicyResearch Bureau. Using the concept of social tourism, our aimwas to find out more about the provision of holidays for familiesin need in the UK.

Social tourism is the inclusion of people living on a low income inholiday and leisure activities – an idea that is familiar in the restof Europe but relatively unknown in the UK. The research foundthat over 7 million people in the UK miss out on a basic holidaybecause of poverty and 2.5 million children live in families thatcan’t even afford a day trip.

While both the Department of Work and Pensions and theGovernment's Social Exclusion Unit use the lack of a one-weekbreak as an indicator of poverty, the UK has some way to gobefore access to holidays for disadvantaged families is an integralpart of social welfare policy.

‘The children loved the beach. Theyhad never seen the sea or sandbefore, so we spent every day wecould there. We walked along thebeach holding hands, looking inthe rock pools and playing withthe children in the sea. Thank youso much for giving us such awonderful family holiday.’

Mr and Mrs Cox, London

The Cox family spent a week in anFHA caravan in Exmouth, Devon.

In the beginningPat and Joan Laurance founded the FHA 30 yearsago. As a young couple in the mid-1950s they werestruggling to cope with unemployment, their child’sillness and a recent bereavement. A friend lent themhis seaside cottage, and they were able to take abreak, forget all their worries for a short time,unwind and have fun together as a family. Theyrealised just how much the holiday had helped themand in 1975 set up the charity to help disadvantagedfamilies have desperately needed holidays.

At the start Pat and Joan ran the charity from thespare bedroom of their North London home. In theirfirst year they helped 19 families. Since then thecharity has grown into the national organisation it istoday – helping over 1,000 families annually.

Celebrating 30 yearsThis year marked the FHA’s 30th anniversary; thecharity has come a long way from its smallbeginnings. Since 1975 we have helped nearly25,000 disadvantaged families have much-neededholidays – families struggling with grinding povertyand poor housing, chronic illness, disability,depression and family break-up.

In that time we have undertaken some ground-breaking projects. Here are just a few of ourachievements.

● Our Time2Care programme to mark themillennium. Over a two-year period we were able

to give almost 2,500 childrenliving in care a fun-filledweek’s break away. For manyof these children it was theirfirst ever holiday, and gavethem a chance to develop moreconfidence and self-esteem.

● We developed our Family Well-Being Break modelduring a successful two-year pilot project. Afterrealising that sometimes families are under suchgreat pressure that a holiday can add even morestress, we offered a different type of break: arelaxing week’s holiday in a supported environment.

Set in beautiful surroundings, families were able to participatein many different activities provided by a team of qualifiedtrainers, therapists and crèche workers. We found that suchbreaks were particularly successful for the children, and manyfamilies made lasting friendships too. We have shared thismodel with social work departments around the UK.

● Another very successful initiative is the recent purchase of ourown FHA caravans at several seaside resorts across the UK.These caravans mean we can accommodate even more familiesduring the peak holiday season in high quality accommodationat a lower cost to the charity. First-hand experience ofmanaging holiday caravans is proving extremely useful andhelping us to improve our services even more.

● More recently we have forged strong relationships with othersimilar organisations to help even more families. We are alsoresearching the benefits of holidays to inform our importantadvocacy work.

Family policy andprogramme forumIn February we held our second FamilyForum entitled Putting social tourism onthe agenda. With over 50 participants,including representatives from theDepartment of Culture, Media & Sport(DCMS), Family Fund, Unison Welfareand Tourism for All, it was a greatsuccess. International speakers fromTourism Flanders, Cheque-Vacances andthe Policy Research Bureau presented anoverview of current policy and practicein Belgium, France and the UK, whichstimulated much debate.

The head of Unison Welfare was soenthused by our Forum she asked us todraft a proposal for her board ofgovernors on a Cheque-Vacances pilotscheme for Unison members.

What the families thinkWe ask all the families that we support andtheir welfare agents to complete feedbackforms after their holiday. This helps us toimprove the services we provide and informsour research. Again in 2005 families citedspending time together as a family, having abreak from stresses and problems and gettingaway from home as the best things abouttheir holidays. More than half of the familiesstated that their holiday was better thanexpected. Welfare agents felt that familieshad benefited through improved mentalhealth and family relationships and were ableto cope better on their return.

Working in partnershipEuropean linksThis year we continued to strengthen ourworking relationships with similar Europeanorganisations: Vacances Ouvertes in Franceoperates a well-established and nationally-recognised holiday scheme that helps over 10,000people every year to plan and enjoy a holiday;and Tourism Flanders, a government departmentin Belgium, provides thousands of individuals,families and groups access to holidays. We meetrepresentatives of these organisations to discusscommon areas of work, share information and

exchange ideas. This year the main topicsincluded how to:

● improve our advice and information toincrease families’ access to holidays

● simplify our feedback forms and comparedata between Belgium, France and the UK

We are also working on an internationalexchange project to provide summer holidaysin France and Belgium during 2006 for UKfamilies.

European Commission conferenceWith our European partners, we were asked to give apresentation to the European Commission conference onsocial tourism. Prior to the meeting we produced a jointleaflet explaining the importance of holidaysfor disadvantaged families. Twenty-twoEuropean countries attended the conferenceand we heard many examples of long-established holiday programmes fromacross the Continent. Our sharedpresentation was well received and therewas widespread support for promotingsocial tourism across Europe for families onlow incomes and/or in poverty.

Unison WelfareWe continue to strengthen our partnership with UnisonWelfare. In April we ran two workshops at Unison Welfare’sannual conference. With over 90 participants we were ableto promote the FHA, which resulted in a Unison Welfareadvertising campaign and more referrals to the FHA.

Holidays makehappier, strongerfamilies.

‘It is great to see a family who have struggledthrough numerous difficulties come backrefreshed from a holiday. They could never havehad a break away if it weren’t for the FHA.’

Welfare agent for Mr de Silva and his daughter,who had a week’s caravan holiday in Norfolk.

On-line givingThis year saw a significant increase in thefunds we raised via our website. Visitorsdonated almost £6,000. With more andmore households gaining internet access,we predict this method of fundraisingwill continue to grow.

In 2005 we received more than 60,000 hits to our website and visitors downloaded 11,000 documents,including 1,600 application forms. Thisyear we have also added up-to-dateinformation on fundraising eventstogether with sponsorship tips and atraining pack for runners.

The proportion of our income that is made upof legacies can vary greatly from year to year.This year’s legacy income was almost entirelyfrom one donor, a Mr Douglas Frost fromCamberley in Surrey. Mr Frost left the charity ashare of his estate and so far we have received£9,000 from the administrators of his Will. Weare very grateful for his generosity.

Most of us don’t want to think about making aWill, but it’s essential to make plans for yourmoney after you die. After you haveremembered your loved ones, why notconsider leaving a legacy to the FHA?

No matter how big or small, itwill help us to support familieshave a holiday theydesperately need. Leaving alegacy towards the work ofthe Family HolidayAssociation helps changepeople’s lives for the better– could a memorial bemore fitting?

Representatives from the Sheffield Family Holiday Fundand Rotherham Holiday Aid met in September 2005 tolook around Butlins in Skegness where many of thefamilies they support enjoy their holidays.

In 2005 the FHAhelped over 1,200families enjoy a break.

‘This holiday was a wonderful break for usas a family and we have re-charged our

batteries. It made me very happy to see mychildren enjoying themselves so much.’

Mrs Jordan, Sheffield

The Jordan family had a week’s caravanholiday in Scarborough.

Director’s report Chairman’s report

Early in the year I was invited to attend aseminar, jointly organised by the Children’s PlayCouncil and Skills Active, to discuss theChildren’s Act. This Act had been amended atthe last minute to include reference to the needfor access to recreation. In an informaldiscussion prior to the arrival of MargaretHodge, the then Minister for Children, weconsidered the idea of defining what wasmeant by ‘recreation’.

From the FHA’s perspective recreation includesthe concept of an annual one-week break awayfrom home. And I had the opportunity to tryand incorporate our views in the definition. Tomy surprise, I discovered that my colleagues,whose primary concern is ‘children’s recreation’,were not even considering the idea of a holidayas a key part of ‘recreation’. So many peoplejust do not realise the huge benefits toeveryone – the families and society in general –of simple holidays. Our advocacy work over theyears has played an important role persuadingpeople that holidays are a necessity foreveryone.

Of course the bulk of our work is sendingfamilies on holiday, and during the year wehave worked very hard to ensure we help asmany families as effectively as we can. Not onlyhave we been able to give holidays to over1,200 families, we have also organiseddiscussion forums, funded research and metwith other interested groups, both in the UK

and Europe, to ensure that our hands-onexperience is used to assist the – literally –millions of families we can’t afford to helpdirectly.

Financially 2005 has been a very difficult year forthe FHA with legacy income being particularlypoor. The fundraising prospects for 2006 aremuch better, but we can only do the work wedo with the terrific support of individual donors,trusts and companies. I would like to take thisopportunity to thank everyone who has helpedin any way – it is much appreciated.

Some thirty years ago our founders, Joan andPat Laurance, recognised through personaldifficulty just how beneficial a holiday can be forfamilies who, for one reason or another, cannotever take a break. Since then the charity hasoffered grants to more than 100,000 childrenand parents. These small grants make it possible for them to take a short break awayfrom home: away from the pressures of theireveryday lives.

The families we help are referred to us bywelfare agencies. In other words they are thefamilies recognised by society as underprivilegedand in some way excluded. We are not talkingabout a glamorous week in the Canaries but asimple holiday: anything from a day at a Britishtheme park to a week at Butlins. For many ofour beneficiaries this family trip is the first timethe children see the sea, and possibly the firsttime ever that the family is able to relax andspend valuable time together.

For thirty years we have been telling as manypeople as will listen that there are huge benefitsfrom a simple, short holiday. We all know it.How good we feel on our return from a holidayis something we all take for granted. Thebenefits of a family holiday for those underpressure include increased self-esteem, a greatersense of family unity and better physical andmental wellbeing. And these benefits makesense for society – quality family time adds up toless demands on welfare agencies.

Despite the difficult financial environment I ampleased with the FHA’s progress over the past yearand with the efforts of our dedicated staff led byour Director, John McDonald. Our committedcouncil of trustees backs them up and we continueto enjoy the support of our founders Pat and JoanLaurance and our president Lady Mary MumfordDCVO.

It is with great sadness, however, that I have torecord the death after a long illness of RogerLiddiard, a trustee and our treasurer for the past sixyears. Our deepest condolences go to Tess, his wife,and his children.
