Everyone needs a breakOur everyday lives are full. We work hard, but still find time to rest and play.Holidays are an integral part of our busy, often stressful, lifestyles – we takebreaks away for granted. Holidays are not luxuries; they play an essential rolein helping to maintain our mental and physical health and well-being. Justimagine if you had no holiday to look forward to, no break from your dailyroutine, no opportunity to see new places, meet new people or relax andunwind? And what if you had no precious holiday memories? It’s almostunthinkable.

But one in every three families across the UK is not able to take an annualholiday. The causes are many and varied, for example chronic illness, mentalhealth problems, disability and family break-up. The most commonly citedreason is lack of money. Thousands of families are so poor that even asimple day-trip is beyond their means. Often it is those families that arestruggling to cope in very difficult circumstances and most in need of abreak that are unable to take one.

Children especially suffer if they miss out on family holidays away fromhome. They have no special memories to treasure and no stories to sharewith their friends, which can lead to feelings of isolation and exclusion, andother social and behavioural problems.

Family holidays are extremely important and have lasting benefits foreveryone – children, parents, carers, wider family, communities and societyin general. Holidays:n improve well-being and reduce stressn increase self esteem and confidencen strengthen family communication and bondingn provide new skills, widen perspectives and enhance employabilityn give long lasting, treasured memoriesn result in happier, stronger families and a more inclusive society.

The Family Holiday Association is the only national charity inthe UK dedicated to helping provide holidays todisadvantaged families. In 2007 we sent over 1,400 familieson simple holidays, usually to the British seaside. All thefamilies we support are trying to manage on low incomes andhave not had a holiday for at least four years – indeed manyhave never had a family holiday. These families are referredto us by social services, health authority staff and voluntarywelfare agencies. To work more effectively and achieve ourgoals, we are increasingly forming partnerships and workingwith other welfare bodies both in the UK and Europe.

The Family Holiday AssociationOur vision is to achieve a society in which the quality of family life is enhancedthrough equitable access to high value rest and recreation regardless ofdisadvantage or poverty.

Our mission is to work in partnership with others to promote the quality offamily life for those parents and children who experience disadvantage as aresult of poverty through the provision of and by promoting access to holidaysand other recreational activities.

We believe that everyone regardless of disadvantage should be able to enjoyfamily life through access to holidays and other recreational activities. Ourmain objectives are to:n increase the number of families that gain access to holidaysn research and promote the value of holidays for families experiencing

disadvantagen increase awareness of the scale and scope of the problem of lack of access

to holidays.

To help as many families as we can, we offer different types of holidays to suitdiffering needs.

Holiday centres: with our partners Haven and Butlins, we provide one-week,self-catering holidays in chalets and FHA caravans at UK seaside resorts. Thisis our most popular holiday option.

Direct grant: a one-off contribution towards any type of holiday. Families choosetheir own holiday destination and book the most convenient dates, for examplea stay in a privately rented cottage or a visit to relatives.

Short break: working with our partners we offer three- or four-night stays in self-catering accommodation at selected UK holiday parks. Short breaksparticularly suit families who are not able to go away for a whole week due tocaring or work commitments.

Last minute break: occasionally travel companies offer us holidays at shortnotice, either in the UK or overseas. This type of holiday suits families who areable to travel with only a few days’ notice.

Group holidays: one-off contributions towards holidays or day trips for a groupof families, organised by their welfare agent.

We encourage families to become involved in choosing andorganising their trip. Although we also contribute towardsholiday expenses, such as travel and treats for the children,we strongly encourage families to save for their break. Inparticular children appear to enjoy ‘saving up’ as this adds totheir anticipation and gives a real sense of achievement.

Holidays are good for youSuccessful voucher schemeLast year we tested a special voucher scheme with the help of BourneLeisure. Instead of FHA staff booking breaks for families, which was alengthy process of negotiating destinations and holiday times, we provided300 families with holiday vouchers. The scheme was such a great success,with families choosing where they wanted to stay and when. During thisyear’s summer season not only did we offer many more vouchers for breaks atHaven holiday parks, but we also included vouchers for Butlins and stays inFHA caravans. Using the voucher scheme enabled us to negotiate anexceptional deal with Haven: for every seven-night voucher we purchased,Haven gave us to two short-breaks vouchers for free. These free vouchershelped us give breaks to 200 more families in 2007.

FHA caravans In July we purchased our ninth FHA caravan thanks to generous donationsfrom Citybond Suretravel and a private supporter. We were keen to offer alocation in north Wales as a holiday destination and were able to buy acaravan at Presthaven Sands, just outside Prestatyn. We opened the new 10-berth, fully insulated and central heated caravan just in time for the summerseason 2007. It is a real bonus that this site is easily accessible by publictransport from a wide area, including London.

We now own caravans at four sites across the UK and are able to offer 270week-long seaside breaks, including 90 during school holidays. Owning ourown caravans means we can also be confident about the standard ofaccommodation we offer. In 2007 we continued our thorough annual caravanmaintenance programme to ensure consistent high standards.

Free train travelFirst Great Western, the rail provider for south-west Britain, very generouslydonated 300 train tickets for use during 2007. As many of the families weoffer breaks to rely on public transport, we would usually help them withtravel expenses. The free train tickets meant that we had more funds left togive more families breaks away. Families were able to use the tickets to reachholiday sites such as Haven Devon Cliffs near Exmouth and Butlins inMinehead.We are very grateful to First Great Western for theirhelp.

In 2007 families told us thatthe best thing about theirholiday was spending qualitytime together as a family.

Working togetherOne of our key aims is to expand families’ access to holidays by workingclosely with other like-minded organisations. During 2007 we continued todevelop constructive relationships with a number of partners including theFamily Fund, UNISON Welfare and the Youth Hostel Association.

Through the FHA, UNISON Welfare offers wellbeing breaks, which include‘Get Well’ breaks for families coping with an adult recovering from illness.Such breaks aim to help the whole family recuperate, and ease thetransition back to working life. In 2007 we were able to offer breaks toalmost 130 UNISON members and their families. The Family Fundspecifically helps families with disabled children and we have continued torefer families caring for severely disabled or sick children to them. Thesereciprocal arrangements are operating extremely well and allow us to offermore breaks to more families.

Foreign exchangeIn recent years we have also forged strong links with similar Europeanorganisations – not only to share best practice, but also to participate inholiday exchanges. As part of our ‘European Holiday Experience’ programmeand with help from Tourism Flanders in Belgium, five London familiesenjoyed a short break to the Flemish coast. Although apprehensive at first,they all had a wonderful time and felt they had really benefited from theirexperiences. We hope to arrange a visit to London for some Flemish familiesin 2008. We continued to work with our French counterparts, VacancesOuvertes, and are exploring how we can work with organisations in Bulgariaand Spain.

Healthy BreaksAt the end of 2006 we worked with the Youth Hostel Association (YHA) todevelop the concept of Healthy Breaks. A development grant from the BigLottery Fund supported this work. The Healthy Breaks programme,comprising several different elements, is aimed at improving the quality oflife for families struggling with depression and other health-relatedproblems. We put forward a bid to the Big Lottery Fund for a substantialgrant to fund a five-year programme helping over 30,000 families. We wereunsuccessful, but we received some very positive feedbackand plan to move forward with a scaled-down version of theHealthy Breaks programme. We are exploring alternativefunding sources. Several organisations, including SouthLondon African Women’s Organisation and the Centre forSeparated Families, have expressed keen interest inHealthy Breaks for families they support.

Projects update School Project In 2006, with Burbage School in Hackney and funding support from First Choice, we set up an exciting new project – ‘Providing opportunities,raising aspirations and improving outcomes for disadvantaged children’. Manyof the families with children at the school struggle on low incomes and manyhave no opportunities to take a break from their everyday lives.

In the project’s second year we were able to provide a number of families withone-week summer breaks in FHA caravans. In June we organised a special,free day-trip: over 200 adults and children visited the Discovery cruise shipdocked in Harwich International Harbour, courtesy of Voyages of Discovery.Although the ship remained in the harbour, the families were taken on aguided tour around the huge vessel and treated to a three-course meal in theexclusive restaurant. It was a wonderful and very different experience foreveryone. We are planning more trips and breaks during 2008.

Online projectWe strive continually to improve our efficiency and provide excellent services tofamilies and welfare agents. During 2007 we have been working on a projectto provide some of our services online. The first step was to produce a set of‘Frequently Asked Questions’ that welfare agents could access on the Internet.Since publishing these FAQs on our website, we have noticed a significantreduction in telephone enquiries, freeing staff to concentrate on other prioritytasks.

ResearchOur Strategic Plan 2004-2009 identifies a key componentof the FHA’s work as research into the benefits of holidays.In 2007, along with four partners – the Family Fund,UNISON Welfare, Thornhill Neighbourhood Project and theYHA – we commissioned a new research project to measureand evaluate the benefits and impacts of supportedholidays for disadvantaged families. Through a variety ofmethods, including the analysis of application andfeedback forms, surveys and focus groups, Scott McCabe,from the Christel DeHaan Tourism and Travel ResearchInstitute of Nottingham University, began a comprehensivestudy. This research will be completed and published in 2008.

Holidays make stronger,happier families.

Social tourismA concept familiar across much of Europe, social tourism is relatively unknownin the UK. It can be defined as: the inclusion of people living on a low incomein holiday and leisure activities. The UK Government has placed greatemphasis on reducing child poverty and social exclusion, which gives us aclear focus to lobby for social tourism to be incorporated into UK’s social andwelfare policies. During 2007 we have made real progress towards pushingsocial tourism into the political arena.

We organised two forums during 2007 to discuss social tourism and its impacton society.

n Health, inclusion and economics – identifying the benefits of holidays wasorganised jointly with UNISON Welfare. The audience heard presentationsabout social tourism and its benefits from BITS (the International Bureauof Social Tourism), the FHA and UNISON Welfare. The meeting was sopopular and successful that we plan to hold a second, similarly-themedevent in Scotland during 2008.

n In June we brought together representatives from almost 30 organisationsto attend our forum entitled Social tourism strategy and consortium. Thekey speaker, Gordon Marsden, MP for Blackpool South, praised the FHA’slead on social tourism. He was the first to sign our social tourismdeclaration:

‘We believe too many people are excluded from the benefits provided byeven a simple break away from home. Together we will work to promotesocial tourism for the improved well-being and happiness of society.’

At this meeting we formed a new consortium to ensure the issue of socialtourism is more widely understood and accepted. We are looking forward toworking with our partners to develop this exciting new initiative in 2008.

A year of fundraising As a charity the FHA relies on donations from individuals, companies, trusts andlocal groups to carry out its work. We are grateful to everyone for their support.Here are just a few of the fundraising highlights from 2007.

The HBOS FoundationEach year staff at Halifax Bank of Scotland(HBOS) plc have the opportunity to vote forone of three charities that will become their‘Million £ Charity of the Year’. HBOS staffthen challenge themselves to raise £500,000,which the HBOS Foundation matches to make£1 million for the chosen worthy cause.Although we were not selected as the winning charity for 2007, we were chosen,in partnership with the RNLI, as one of the runners-up. We received an initial£50,000, and once the £1 million target was reached for the winning charity,we received a third of all additional funds raised – which amounted to anamazing £400,000.

Libby’s appealIn June the FHA was the subject of the BBC Radio 4Charity Appeal. Libby Purves, one of the best-known voiceson Radio 4 and a dedicated supporter of the FHA for 30years, described our work and appealed for donations. Shespoke movingly of the early days when she met ourfounders, Pat and Joan Laurance, and asked listeners tohelp her ‘help a family get a break this summer’. Libby’sappeal raised the public’s awareness of the lack of holidaysfor disadvantaged families and attracted a marvellous£20,000 in generous donations.

‘Give a Break’ gift schemeIn the autumn we launched our special ‘Give a Break’ gift scheme– a new and novel way for people to support our important work.Instead of buying presents, this new schemeoffers the opportunity to give family andfriends an FHA gift that helps adisadvantaged family have a great breakaway. The scheme includes eight innovativegifts ranging from buckets and spades totreats for the children. For anyone lookingfor a more lasting tribute, the scheme also

offers the opportunity to purchase a ‘timeshare’ in an FHAcaravan. These different and inspiring gifts made popularChristmas presents and continue to sell steadily throughoutthe year. The gifts are available online atwww.giveabreak.org.uk.

This year the FHAraised over £1 millionto help disadvantagedfamilies.

A year of fundraising Running for the Family Holiday AssociationCompleting a running event is a real personal challenge and a great way toraise money. We are very grateful to everyone who collected sponsorship andcompleted long-distance races on our behalf.

n London Marathon: 31 runners raised almost £50,000.n ABTA Fun Run (Spain): 50 runners raised almost £4,000. n Great North Run: 3 runners raised over £2,000.n Hydro Active 5K Women’s Challenge: the team raised almost £1,000.

Evita Theatre Event The Malta Tourism Authority generously sponsored out special Evita Theatre event. Over 200 people bought tickets for the show,which included entry to the after-show receptionwith the cast, and raised over £13,000.

First Choice Sailing RegattaFirst Choice’s second sailing regatta in Cowes was another big success.Twenty teams took part in the two-day sailing event – and raised over£13,000.

Walking the Wall Teams of intrepid hikers from HBOS andFlagship Consulting joined local FHAsupporters for our Hadrian’s WallChallenge. Spread over a weekend theycompleted an arduous 18 miles alongthis picturesque route on the first day,and a comparatively easy seven, on thesecond. They raised enough money tosend almost ten disadvantaged familieson breaks.

Our local groupsThe FHA has been fortunate to have four dedicated groupsthat raise funds for local disadvantaged families to haveholidays. North London Friends, Rotherham Holiday Aid,Sheffield Family Holiday Fund and Wolverhampton Friends ofthe FHA all organised a variety of fundraising events rangingfrom curry nights and coffee mornings to concerts and craftfairs. We are extremely grateful for their support.

The past year has been incredibly successful. We have helped more families thanever (over 1,400) and fully expect to help even more in 2008. We have workedclosely with some of the UK’s largest charities and its biggest companies. And wehave established a consortium of like-minded organisations to promote the benefitsof a break away from home for the most disadvantaged families.

In October 2006 an FHA forum held at the King’s Fund in central London heardfrom Charles Belanger, Director of the Brussels-based International Bureau ofSocial Tourism, that a newly published paper from the EU described social tourism*as a ‘miracle’. It said that everyone, both users and practitioners, benefit from theeconomic, social, health and employment implications of increased access toholidays. In June 2007 we followed this successful forum with a gathering oforganisations to establish a social tourism consortium. Gordon Marsden, MP forBlackpool South, was the first signatory of the meeting’s declaration:

‘We believe too many people are excluded from the benefits provided by even asimple break away from home. Together we will work to promote social tourism forthe improved well-being and happiness of society.’

We are delighted that charities such as the Youth Hostel Association, UNISONWelfare and the Family Fund also signed the declaration.

Holidays produce happier, stronger families; we know this because social workersand other welfare agents tell us consistently year after year. Families that they referto the charity for help also recount the positive impact that a holiday has had onthem. The evidence we gather from the direct support we provide families can onlystrengthen the case for provision to be made more widely available.

Our work with families requires a great deal of money. This year I am pleased toreport that we have raised over £1m thanks to generous support from our donors.Although we will not see the benefits until next year, I can also report that we werechosen to be part of the HBOS charity of the year fundraising event. We madeour bid to HBOS in partnership with the RNLI, one of the country’sbiggest charities, and, as a result of the HBOS year-longfundraising effort, we will share proceeds of over £800,000.

We have had a good year at the charity, but it has been not beenwithout its disappointments and sadness. We were all deeplyaffected by the sudden death of Patrick Laurance and ourcondolences go to Joan, his wife and co-founder of the FamilyHoliday Association.

John McDonald, Director

Director’s reportThis is my second Chairman’s report and I am pleasedto present an organisation in continuing good health.We are helping more families than ever, our income isincreasing and we have a strong agenda that we arepursuing with great energy.

To achieve all we wish to accomplish, we depend onthe support of many people, from individual donors tolarge trusts, from company CEOs to others who givetheir time and expertise. I would like to thank a few ofthe outstanding supporters from the past year.

Peter Long, Chief Executive of TUI Travel plc, is a great example of someone who iscommitted to the work of the Family Holiday Association. His personal leadershiphas helped to develop our Schools Project with an east-end London primary school.The provision of supported holidays has delivered great results for all concerned:pupils, parents and the school. Libby Purves, the well-known broadcaster, deliveredour recent Radio 4 Appeal, which raised over £20,000. And, through regularhighlighting of our work in her newspaper columns, she has helped to bring theimportance of holidays to national prominence.

I must also mention Mansukh Ganatra, MD of Citybond Suretravel, who for manyyears has provided free travel insurance for our families. In this past year hiscompany also helped fund the purchase of the ninth FHA caravan, which we weredelighted to site in Prestatyn last summer. Gordon Marsden, Labour MP forBlackpool South, has spoken at FHA meetings and helped raise the issue of accessto holidays from the floor of the House. He also put down an ‘Early Day Motion’signed by over 40 MPs, acknowledging with gratitude the work of Patrick and JoanLaurance and urging further support for disadvantaged families to take holidays.

This EDM followed the sudden and unexpected passing of Patrick Laurance inJanuary, which shocked and saddened everyone associated with the charity that heco-founded with his wife, Joan, back in 1975. So many families have benefited,and will continue to benefit, from his vision, enthusiasm and hard work. In theFamily Holiday Association, Patrick has left behind a magnificent legacy.

The trustees are very pleased with the progress of the charity over the past year andthe efforts of our dedicated staff, ably led by John McDonald. Our committedcouncil of trustees is well supported by other hardworking committee members andwe continue to enjoy the support of our remaining founder Joan Laurance and ourwonderful president Lady Mary Mumford DCVO.

Pat and Joan Laurance founded the FHA over 30years ago and in 2007 continued to fundraisetirelessly through their local group – the NorthLondon Friends. They were inspired to set up thecharity after a particular family holiday. In the mid-1950s Pat found himself unemployed, his youngdaughter had chronic bronchitis and he and Joanwere mourning the death of another child. Theywere stressed and struggling to cope. The doctorrecommended a break, but they could not affordone. A kind friend lent them his seaside flat andthe family had a wonderful break away. Theyreturned from their holiday refreshed and relaxed,and realised what a difference a simple holidaymade to their lives. So they vowed to help otherswith breaks away from home.

In 1975 Pat and Joan set up the Family HolidayAssociation, working from the spare bedroom intheir North London home. In their first year theyhelped 19 families. Since then the FHA has growninto a national organisation and has helped almost25,000 disadvantaged families have much-neededholidays.

Sadly on 11 January 2008 Patrick Laurance diedfollowing a minor hospital procedure. He was 88. Atruly extraordinary person, Pat will be missed byeveryone who knew him. MPs paid tribute to himthrough an Early Day Motion, which was signed by 42 MPs from both sides of the House.

We are extremely grateful to Haven Holidays who donated 88 family holidays in remembrance of Patrick Laurance: one holiday for every year of his remarkable life.
