Situated in Bodmin, Cornwall, this centre offers accessible, exciting holidays for young disabled people and their families. A complete range of options is available including adventure based activities to the more leisurely pastimes of garden visits, arts and crafts and environmental activities. Since its inception, Churchtown has provided holidays and care support to well over 20,000 disabled people. However, until now, they have been unable to offer a chance for a disabled youngster to enjoy the experiences with their families, something which is extremely sad when you consider that they have had children as young as four using the facilities.
Now, with a grant from the Philip Green Memorial Trust, two purpose-built bungalows have been built which allow families with a disabled member to holiday together, sometimes for the very first time. These bungalows were opened in 2001 by HRH Prince Charles, the Duke of Cornwall which was a very proud moment for the Philip Green Memorial Trust.
