Harvest Trust is a national UK charity which provides simple seaside holidays for disadvantaged children.

The holidays are based at the Trust’s own holiday centre near Cardigan Bay in West Wales, and are arranged in partnership with primary schools, community groups and child care organisations.

Since 1986, Harvest Trust has developed unique and effective seaside holiday experiences for a wide range of children in need.

Children living in severely disadvantaged circumstances from dismal housing estates hit by unemployment, poverty and crime. Bereaved children. Young carers. Abused and neglected children.

Withdrawn silent children, isolated and depressed, who need a lasting boost to their self-confidence.

For all of these children a Harvest Trust holiday is a vital break away from a life most of us would find intolerable. It gives them a week of much needed freedom and fun - a glimpse of a better world and perhaps a brighter future.
