POPPY ADVENTURE BREAKS – 2010
Free Family holidays for the most disadvantaged.

The Family Holiday service offers a seven night package in selective Haven holiday centres inclusive of on site free activities. They have an extensive range of day time activities for all age groups and a programme of evening

THE Poppy Adventure Break is a great opportunity for young people to enjoy themselves, meet new people, experience new things, improve their self esteem - and most of all have fun. Needless to say parents get a well earned break as well.
The key focus of this service is to assist families with children who are between 12 – 17 years and meet one
of the criteria below:

Young people eligible under the Royal Charter are those:

• From a one parent household because of bereavement or break up of the family.

• From a family with one parent currently serving on overseas operations

• From a family where a parent is caring for a disabled partner

• From a family who have not had a holiday or break away from home in three years

• From a one or two parent household with less than £25,000 gross annual income per year. Working in partnership with Klub Group, a provider of adventure holidays for many years, the Legion offers free week-long adventure breaks to children of men and women who are currently serving, or have served in the Armed Forces.

The seven night package has been created for Poppy Breaks and will include full board accommodation, all on site activities, a trip to a nearby theme park, pocket money and transport to and from the centre. Summer holiday dates for 2010 are available at various sites.
