How do we make a difference?

Here at The Principle Trust Children’s Charity we often receive letters of thanks from families we’ve helped and the partners we work with. It is these letters that make what we do worthwhile.

We hope to improve the health and well-being of each child and family compared to how they felt before their break. Each situation before their break is different but the impact it has is always positive, particularly having a new opportunity to spend quality time with each other and take away the strain and stress of everyday life.

Since the charity was founded in 2011, we have provided free holidays for over 5,400 underprivileged, disadvantaged and disabled children from across the region.

This is just a selection of some of the comments we have received.
