Holiday Help for Children
What We Do
IHHC helps children and families in Ipswich
and South Suffolk get the breaks that most of us take for granted:
- a holiday, to help a family come together,
to give a hard-pressed parent some space with the children
- a school trip which all their friends
are going on, but they can't afford
- or simply a day's activity, to boost
confidence and self-esteem
We will look at any idea which helps a
child or a family re-charge batteries, or build relationships, or stay
together, or grow in confidence or maturity, by getting away from their
normal environment.

Thank you for the money you gave to me so that I could go [with the
rest of my year group on the school trip]. It was great fun, we had
lots of fun, we did lots of interesting things every day. My favourite
trip was Shell Grotto, the shells on the walls were amazing. I also
had fun in the room because there were so many of us, and it was great
to talk at night after the lights went out. We did get told off for
talking too much but it was not too serious as Miss M had lost her voice.
(It's better now).

Before we knew anything about the holiday and the help we could receive,
my eldest occasionally mentioned that he would like to go on holiday,
but my reply was always the same: "Maybe one day, when I have enough
money". But that day never seemed to come…. It was lovely to spend some
fun quality time with my children, which I do not get to do lots at
home as there are always things to be done. I can't thank you enough
for making it possible to go away on holiday. You made my boys' dream
come true.
