TGAF impact 2026 — A Getaway Foundation family from Luton - Feedback.

"Life has been overwhelming lately, and money has been tight, but the thought and care that went into this trip — from the car seats to the taxi arrangements to everything else organised for us — meant we could still have this experience.

For the first time in a long while, I could breathe, switch off, and just be present with my children. Watching them wake up every morning full of joy, our ice cream dates, late-night walks, all the swimming — those moments were priceless.

This break showed me just how much we need this: a chance to reconnect and make happy memories, away from the weight of everyday worries. Thank you for giving us this opportunity — we'll be grateful for it always." 💙
