Befriended Holidays

Friendship, Fun & Memories

Over the past couple of years many ‘friends’ have told Gail they no longer go on a holiday because they are on their own... SO we offer Befriended Breaks - where friendship, fun and fabulous memories are formed.

A break away from the norm is vital for our health and wellbeing, a chance to cherish the moment, meet and make new friends, and fill your tank with joy.

Whether it is having a go at new activities-bowls, snooker, rifle shooting, golf, swimming or just enjoying some evening entertainment in the company of friends - this break will do you the world of good.

About Befriended Breaks

  • For many people experiencing loneliness, health challenges, or limited finances, holidays are simply not accessible.

    Some have not had a holiday in many years — and for others, this may be their first opportunity ever.

    Without support, the idea of travelling, staying away from home, or navigating a new environment can feel overwhelming or out of reach.

    • Provide access to a holiday experience for those who may not otherwise have one

    • Reduce isolation through shared experience

    • Build confidence in new environments

    • Create meaningful memories

    • Strengthen friendships and connection

  • This holiday is for people who:

    • Would not otherwise be able to access a holiday

    • Feel isolated or would benefit from time away

    • May lack confidence travelling alone

    • Would enjoy a supported group experience

    • 5-day group holiday to the Isle of Wight

    • Supported by staff and volunteers

    • Accessible and carefully planned

    • Mix of rest, social time, and optional activities

    • Inclusive and person-centred approach

    • Support available throughout the trip

  • Participants often:

    • Experience joy, excitement, and a sense of freedom

    • Build strong friendships and shared memories

    • Gain confidence and independence

    • Feel refreshed and uplifted

    • Achieve something they never thought possible
