Respite Breaks
Does your family need a break?
Sometimes all a family wants to do is get away to take time just being together where cancer is not the main issue of the day. We know that for families with a child with cancer it can seem a little daunting to plan a break away, but we can help! The Lennox provides week long Respite Breaks at English holiday parks to allow families a little quality time together away from hospitals, doctors and treatment. Often a short break away can be 'just what the doctor ordered', or so we are told! Every year we provide a much needed break for almost 200 families nationwide.
How much will a holiday from the Lennox cost?
Nothing! Yes that’s right nothing! We will give you a week long break and often provide some spending money too!

What is the criteria to qualify for support?
If your child is under 18 years old and has been diagnosed with or undergone treatment for cancer or leukaemia in the last 12 months, you can apply for support. Any support will be considered so long as it is shown to be beneficial to the child. If you have previously received a Care Grant or Respite Break from the Lennox, priority will be given to new applicants, especially during school holiday periods.
Will there be plenty to do there?
Holidays are always on reputable, well equipped holiday parks close to beaches and seaside towns and usually accommodate between 6 to 8 people.
