Welcome To The Principle Trust Children's Charity
Based in Skipton, North Yorkshire, we exist to brighten the lives of underprivileged, disadvantaged, and disabled children across Yorkshire by providing free holidays and respite breaks. Whether families are coping with life-limiting illnesses, disabilities, additional needs, mental health challenges, or overcrowded housing, our aim is the same: to offer a safe, welcoming escape where they can reconnect, recharge, and make lasting memories together.
Our seven fully equipped holiday homes include:
Four caravans at Marton Mere, Blackpool, perfect for families seeking fun, relaxation, and all the attractions the coast has to offer.
Two accessible lodges on the shores of Lake Windermere at White Cross Bay, adapted for children with complex medical needs, autism, and disabilities, set amidst tranquil woodland and water vistas.
Our newest respite home at Primrose Valley Holiday Park, our first Yorkshire-based caravan, chosen to reduce travel barriers for East and South Yorkshire families and bring a holiday closer to home.
Every stay we provide is completely free of charge, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. Because we believe that every child deserves joy, every family deserves relief, and every memory matters.
Find out how you can get involved—whether by volunteering, fundraising, or becoming a Patron and help us create more smiles, more laughter, and more moments that last a lifetime.
We are a Children’s Charity, based in Skipton, North Yorkshire.
We work hand-in-hand with our referring partners, who are; local authorities, social services, family centres, schools, hospices and fellow charities to identify those children and families from Yorkshire who need our respite breaks most.
And thanks to our 100% donations policy, every penny raised through events and campaigns goes straight to supporting Yorkshire’s most vulnerable children and their families in our mission of making memories that last.
Our respite holidays help give children the time and means to make memories that will last a lifetime.
