“Such an action packed fun week but the best would be the walks down to trecco beach every evening watching the tide come in and the sun set over Porthcawl. And he got to make a lovely friend who he’s exchanged details with, which for him was priceless and beautiful to see develop over the week there.”

Margaret and her husband Chris enjoyed a break away this year. “It is amazing on how just a few days away make such a difference, physically and mentally. It felt as soon as we reached our destination we could finally breathe. We returned refreshed and ready to accept challenges thrown at us.”

Margaret

“A huge thank you 3H! Thanks to you my son experienced the sand in his toes, he spent ages calmed by seeing and hearing the waves lap over his legs.  He loved ‘his caravan’!  As a mother of a special needs child daily life can be tough and relentless.  However, after a holiday we were all excited to return home and share our memories….like the naughty seagull who stole our chips which Theo found hilarious!  Theo has a passion for water, so he spent a lot of time in the pool racing down the slides.  Nothing makes a mother happier than seeing their child happy.”
