CHILDREN WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS-DREAM HOLIDAYS 

We provide respite holidays for families who have a child suffering from the life-threatening illness of Cystic Fibrosis. Each family is referred to us by their CF child's hospital. Holidays are for families from all areas of the UK, and are taken within the UK.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Financial issues to consider:
