For many families BREAK is a lifeline. Every year we provide holidays and respite care for more than 1,000 children and adults with disabilities at our specialist centres. While our guests enjoy a seaside holiday, their parents and carers benefit from a much-needed rest. BREAK is special because we provide quality care and give our guests a great holiday where the focus is firmly on fun. The charity also provides a range of other care services - including children's homes, day care for adults and a residential family assessment unit.
