Our Respite Break Grants program provides families with a child with CF with a grant of £350 towards a short break. Studies have shown the value of a holiday for families struggling with CF; the psychological uplift has a direct impact on the effectiveness of treatments and subsequent measurable heath outcomes.
These holidays help children with CF stay healthier. Time and again we hear from our families that these trips would not have been possible without our help, and that the excitement of planning for these trips and the reliving of memories together is a high point of family life.
The CFHF is here to help these amazing families have positive experiences and make happy memories. To apply click here.

"Dear everyone at the CF Holiday Fund, I really struggle to put into words just how grateful I am for the £350 you gave us for holiday to Portugal. I think your charity is an absolute blessing and I'm so lucky to have been helped by you! The actual holiday was absolutely phenomenal! We were in Vilamoura in the Algarve, and temperature were 30 degrees every day! Just right!"
