Revitalise announces plan to close

It is with great sadness that Revitalise Respite Holidays must announce that the difficult decision has been made to close the charity. Despite every effort to ensure the charity’s survival, the financial challenges we face have become insurmountable.

It is our intention to honour all guest breaks booked until 25th November; following which our centres will close. We are communicating with all guests with breaks booked beyond that date and with those who have longer term placements.

Revitalise would like to thank all of our guests for their loyal support throughout the charity’s 60 years of operation. To our dedicated staff, volunteers, donors, and supporters, we extend our deepest gratitude for your unparalleled efforts and passion for Revitalise’s mission. Your contributions have made a tangible difference in helping provide vital respite for disabled people and their carers.

We are deeply sorry that as the UK’s last remaining provider of holidays with 24-hour care for people with complex disabilities, the breaks we provide will now be beyond reach for the majority of our guests. It remains our lasting hope that policy makers take heed of the critical state of affairs in the social care sector and ensure that respite is properly funded.

For enquiries or if you are affected by the closure please contact Revitalise via email at enquiries@revitalise.org.uk

To ensure guests staying with us until the 25^th of November enjoy the same great Revitalise experience they’ve always known, we do still need volunteers to lend social support. If you would like to volunteer in the coming weeks, please fill out this short form to register your interest.
