Dream-a-Way provides a welcome break at Haven Holiday Park

Exeter-based charity Dream-A-way, which provides holidays and days out for people with disabilities across Devon and Cornwall, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year.

Jeff Merrett MBE, the charity’s chairman said “ It’s always a big thrill for all of us at Dream-A-way when we hear about the effect the holidays we provide have on the lives of our clients and their carers and families. This is just one such story.”

In July, the Kennedy family, along with Jamie’s carer, spent a fantastic week at one of Dream-A-Way’s luxury caravans at Sandy Bay Exmouth.

Ellie and Oliver assist Jamie on a daily basis and it had been a difficult eighteen months for the family. When Ellie and Oliver found out they were going on holiday, they were very excited and grateful. So much so, that they were packed and ready to go three weeks in advance.

The weather was great, and the family had a lovely day out in nearby Exmouth. The children had great fun joining in all the activities that the park has to offer.

Jamie said that the chance for Ellie and Oliver to spend a week just being children, hearing their laughter, seeing their smiles and having fun is something that she will always treasure.
