How Do I Book A Holiday? From the start of April until the end of October we run our annual
Holiday Programme, during which time groups of children from hospitals, special
schools, community groups, self-help groups, hospices etc. visit CAFT free of
charge. Groups must come with their own care staff who work alongside our team
of play facilitators.
Groups must apply in writing at the address below
or contact us direct at pippa@caft.co.uk . All applications are then
considered. This also applies to our annual programme of Christmas
parties.
Outside of the Holiday Programme we are delighted to consider
applications from groups who are able to come self-catering, on a fee paying
basis.
