Holidays for families living with autism

MAGIC’s new project “Respite holidays that are MAGIC” aims to provide a family holiday home at Allhallows Leisure Park, Kent, which will allow families living with autism to access a weekend or midweek break at a reasonable cost. We are one of only 6 projects in the ITV Meridian East area competing and we need your help to make this a reality!

The project will enable MAGIC to purchase a mobile holiday home which will be sited at the resort Allhallows-on-Sea. The mobile home will enable long weekend or a whole week breaks, and will be aimed at the whole family group, providing them with a time when they can recharge their batteries and spend quality time together.

Please show us your support by clicking ‘support the project’ – and don’t forget to vote! Thanks

Respite for families living with Autism is not a luxury but a necessity! Please support this and other projects like it to enable families to stay together because they are given some 'time-out' from the relentless stress they endure.

It would be amazing if MAGIC is awarded this. So many families would benefit hugely to bring a bit of sunshine into their lives, rest and togetherness.
