Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

The Merseyside Holiday Service aims to help people on Merseyside who are in need of a holiday break but who are unable to afford the full cost themselves. Those that we assist are all on very low incomes and have families with young children who have been living and suffering under some exceptional difficulty or stress and who would benefit from a short break away from their home environment.
