We are in the process of moving from Tracy Ann House in Bournemouth, to a new site in the pretty Dorset village of Dewlish.

Although sad to say goodbye to our base for the last 25 years, our new location at Manor Farm Barn will offer an array of opportunities and facilities for our guests.

Guests will stay in a beautiful barn conversion that leads onto a courtyard garden, swimming pool and games room. We will still plan an inclusive timetable of outings and activities, with time at leisure to enjoy the stunning setting and to visit the animals living on the farm.

Meals will be prepared by a professional chef using quality local ingredients where possible.

Our much loved Founder, Brenda will be stepping back from hosting the holidays but will still be very much involved in the running of the charity in her new role as President.

Our online services will continue as normal.

We will be posting more information and updates on our website and social media as we make the transition.

For more information, please email our team.
