We are very pleased to announce that the Peter Harrison Foundation Trust and Project Spark will be working with us to support a number of families with Teenagers with a holiday (living in Milton Keynes, support the MK Council STEP initiative (Support for Teenagers and Empowering Parents). 


We are also being supported by grants from Tesco Ground Works supporting us from stores on the Isle of Wight and within Buckinghamshire to support food vouchers for families on holiday, enabling families to enjoy their holidays without the impact of food poverty.

Amazing. The Steel Charitable Trust have provided The Getaway Foundation with a grant to expand the number of holidays and families we can support for families living in Luton and Bedfordshire from 8 to 15. In 2022, we provided our first 8 family holidays working with Luton Borough Council. With this grant we will be able to create even more positive family memories in 2023. Thank you and good news.

We are very grateful for The WightAid Foundations ongoing support for The Getaway Foundation. They have donated funding to support 3 families for 2023, including transportation (48% of the families we support do not have access to a car) Accommodation and vouchers for Food and Activities. This is amazing and will go directly to supporting more families from the Isle of Wight.
