Go Beyond

CHICKS provides free respite breaks for disadvantaged children from across the UK, who would not otherwise have a break in that year. CHICKS helps children from a variety of different backgrounds, just a few examples are children growing up in poverty and children who have been abused, either physically, emotionally or sexually. CHICKS also provides breaks for young carers. Childhood lasts for such a short time. It should be a time for laughter and learning, not a time of fear and isolation. On a CHICKS break, children can have fun, relax and make new friends. They have the chance to experience new things, like seeing the sea for the first time or going horse riding, and this helps to build confidence and self-esteem. The support the children receive goes on beyond the respite break. Please visit our website for further details. www.chicks.org.uk
