Assistance for the Most Needy Children

Date:17 August 2007

Country Holidays for Inner City Kids is a registered UK charity that provides free respite breaks for disadvantaged children from all parts of the UK. The charity is seeking needy children in and around the Clifton Diocese who will benefit from such a break.

The children we assist must meet the required criteria, which includes not having a break anywhere else and they must be referred by a professional person such as priest, vicar, doctor, school teacher, social worker or similar.

Roy Endacott, Chief Executive of CHICKS, said, “As part of our own expansion plans over the next three years we aim to help over 1000 children a year and we hope to assist the most needy children from all areas of the country – whether from rural areas, where pockets of deprivation have increased tremendously, or from the poor inner city areas.

“As part of this process I feel the church is well placed to help identify children from families that won’t get a break anywhere else that would particularly benefit from a CHICKS break. More information is available on our website and I would appreciate you passing this information on.”
