The Value of the Scheme
The scheme has tremedious value of 3 main levels:

  1. It provides the child with a holiday and an opportunity to make new friends.
  2. It gives the family a well-earned break from continuous care.
  3. It gives an opportunity for families in the community to share their home and their time with a child with a disability.
