Holidays Are Fun annual report 2025 to 2026

A family living within a women's refuge accessed the Holidays Are Fun (HAF) programme through sessions delivered on site. Harbour delivers HAF sessions within the refuge and also supports families to take part in safe, supported trips to local venues and attractions. These sessions provided the family with opportunities to take part in activities in a secure and supportive environment whilst making new friends and learning about the area.

Mum shared the following feedback on the impact of HAF on her family: "We had to move here from out of town and leave all of our family and friends behind. I'm not going to lie it's been tough for us all and we have been through every emotion going. At first we kept ourselves to ourselves and stayed in our unit a lot, we felt so isolated away from everyone. This Easter though we joined in with the activities and the kids absolutely loved it, including me. We've made friends and it has been nice being around people who understand us and what we are going through. The activities have brought fun, and we have never laughed so much in ages. The staff have been great and have gone above and beyond to make sure we have had such a nice time. We were so grateful for the meals and food too, the kids have actually eaten stuff they would never try with me. I just want to say thank-you. You really don't know how much this has meant to us."
