Our Charity: Kids Village

The Kids Village charity have set out on a mission to build a unique holiday village, just for critically ill children and their families - a first in the UK! Here's what we are trying to achieve:

Kids’ Village will be in the heart of the UK, and built on our beautiful site in the Staffordshire countryside, north of Birmingham.
We know that serious illness doesn’t just affect the individual, we will support the whole family.
Surrounded by those in a similar boat, it is a safe and supportive ‘bubble’ environment.
Breaks are an escape from a difficult day-to-day and will be unique, restful and magical to make families feel special.
Breaks are free to families
Families will be offered breaks by our partner charities called ‘Best Friends’.

Imagine.... Being stuck in hospital day in and day out whilst your friends play outside without a care in the world. Your life revolves around treatments, injections and hospitals, whilst your friends only need to think about toys parks and having fun! As a parent your relationships are under stress too: your social life is probably non existent, your work may need to take a back seat or just not be possible at all and you live within a cloud. Life for a child with a critical illness is seriously tough, tough for the child, tough for the parents and tough for all the family. Its a time of strain, pressure, fear and financial worry and sometimes its really hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

At kids village, we want to give these children and their families important life-enhancing respite. Fun magical moments and great memories: we aim to provide it all. Our focus is on the whole family being embraced for a while and ensuing they leave the kids village experience feeling re-charged and more confident for the path ahead.

In short families can enjoy their special respite holidays at our purpose built kids village in the heart of the UK, near Lichfield.

The team are creating a safe and understanding environment for families to enjoy. We aim to take away some of the stress and worry of caring for a child whose future is uncertain and give families the gift of time together. Our mission is to help children with critical illnesses forget about the time in and out of hospital and instead, inspire and invigorate them for a while.

Cost free. Worry free. Memory rich. You can find out more about us at our website, kidsvillage.org.uk/
