Update

Our very first holiday home was a two bedroomed cabin chosen by Thomas Ball himself in 2001. Unfortunately in September 2008 the lease expired on this beautiful little home that was know as "Tom's Retreat". We still had "T.J's" a three bedroomed lodge that we purchased in 2005 but this wasn't enough to cope with the high demand for holidays due to the charity becoming known to a much wider geographical area. To avoid disappointing families we immediately purchased a new lease on a two bedroomed caravan "Tom's Trailer" but we always hoped that something bigger and better would fall into our price range. After a two year appeal and many very generous donations, we have purchased another three bedroomed lodge and sold Tom's Trailer. This wonderful holiday home is almost identical to "TJ's" and we have named it simply "Tom's". Both our lodges will accommodate 6 - 8 persons and are sited at Hoburne Naish Holiday Village, Christchurch Road, New Milton, Hampshire, please visit this link to view the extensive facilites on offer at Hoburne holiday parks: www.hoburne.com

We would like to thank everyone who has made donations towards our new holiday home, in particular Dun and Bradstreet who donated almost £22,000, The Penn and Tylers Green Super Fun Run Committee who donated £10,000, White Leaf Golf Club in Princes Risborough who donated £6,800 and "Tom's school" The Misbourne in Great Missenden for donating £1,600. These are just some of the many donations that have helped to raise the £42,500 for the new lease. We are also immensely grateful to John Lewis High Wycombe for making several donations to furnish the home and to Whiteleaf Furniture in Princes Risborough for donating and delivering furniture. The fundraising is not over yet, we still need to raise £20,000 each year to keep the two holiday homes up and running.

To help with the running costs of our holiday lodges, the trustees occasionally rent them out to the general public at very competitive rates.
