What We Do
We provide breaks for children and families living within the Greater Glasgow areas who are disadvantaged or socially excluded.
caravan holidays
Our caravan holidays provide families the opportunity to get a break from their everyday lives at Wemyss Bay Holiday Park.
Group and FAMILY DAYS OUT
In partnership with voluntary organisations, we can support groups and families to enjoy a day out.
YOUTH GROUP BREAKS
Youth groups can enjoy the use of our caravans for activity based breaks and time away.
Get Involved
We are grateful to the many funding organisations, charitable trusts, churches, individual donors and volunteers who support the Holiday Scheme and allow us to provide over 500 children and young people each year with a break. Our volunteers include staff from Accenture, Virgin Money and EDF Energy. They support the Scheme both financially and practically including helping to maintain our caravans to the highest standard. Get in touch if interested in volunteering or helping us out in any way you can.

Volunteer opportunities
We require volunteers to help out at our 5 caravans at different times through the year, in particular, in March and November each year as we open and close our caravans. Get in touch if interested in doing this perhaps as part of an employee team. You can also contact us about donations for our caravans including toys and games and kitchen supplies as well as fundraising suggestions.
Make a Donation
The Holiday Scheme is entirely dependent upon grants and donations from funding organisations, charitable Trusts, businesses and individuals.
Our Impact
In any one year we help over 200 families, over 500 children and young people and over 350 adult parents/carers who all enjoy a break through the holiday scheme. Many children have disabilities, some with special care needs and others have challenges such as learning difficulties or autism. We support a range of families including kinship carers, families affected by domestic violence, young carers, support carers and single parents.
