Cystic Fibrosis Holiday Fund Expand “Our purpose at the Cystic Fibrosis Holiday Fund is to provide children with Cystic Fibrosis and their families an opportunity to spend quality time together. Kids with Cystic Fibrosis never get a break from the arduous daily routine of hours of physiotherapy, 50+ pills and nebulisers twice daily which are essential to maintain health and even this doesn’t guarantee they won’t get sick. Frequent, unpredictable hospitalisations are the norm which makes holding down a job difficult for parents, leaving incomes stretched and holidays often impossible to afford. Life expectancy is currently in the thirties but far too many children are still dying in their teens and twenties. This creates challenges for the mental wellbeing of all family members. Our holidays and grants help families create happy memories while they can.” https://www.cfholidayfund.org.uk/

Birchington Convalescent Benefit Fund Expand The Council of Church Society acts as Trustee for the Birchington Convalescent Benefit Fund. This fund is used to help 'poor children' to have a 'change of air' whilst they are recovering from illness or suffering from a long-term illness. In practice the Trustees give modest grants to help children and their families to take a holiday where they might otherwise not be able to afford to do so. Grants are rarely given for expensive or overseas holidays. Grants are made to those under the age of 18 living in the UK and in order to ensure that applications are genuine the Council requires that they are supported by a recognised person or body, such as social services, a doctor or charity. http://www.churchsociety.org/aboutus/managed/Fund_Birchington.asp
