THE CHARITY: The Glanfield Children's Group

The Glanfield Children's Group provides a holiday for disabled children in Lourdes, a village in the French Pyrenees. The trip also gives a much needed rest for their parents who are welcome to either join the group or otherwise stay at home. For many of the children this is their first holiday abroad. Due to the skills and expertise of the helpers, the group is able to offer the children experiences that their disabilities would not usually permit, such as swimming, horse riding and abseiling in the mountains. The group stays in a modern, well equipped hotel and each child is under constant supervision. There is a registered nurse on duty at all times and a doctor is always available.
