Principle Trust provided breaks for nearly 6,000 children
The charity, established in 2011, has provided respite breaks for nearly 6,000 children. The charity provides support to vulnerable children. It has done this through its homes in Blackpool, Filey, and the Lake District.
According to the Charity Commission, the charity aims to “improve the quality of life for children and their families who are underprivileged, disadvantaged or disabled.”
In total, the charity has about eight respite homes and supports about 308 families a year.
Additionally, it provides essential breaks for children facing adversity. This covers mental health challenges, trauma, abuse, poverty, and serious illnesses.
It also supports children with disabilities. The support helps these children enjoy time away from their struggles in safe and supportive environments.
