CHICKS provides respite breaks to some of the most profoundly disadvantaged children in our society. The breaks, which are provided for children between the ages of 8 and 15, allow the children the chance to have some positive time away ‘from it all’ in a safe, supportive and caring environment.

The week is full of exciting activities such as horse riding, swimming, singing, and rock climbing; all of which builds on the children’s confidence and self esteem and generates feelings of social inclusion where the children return home happier, more content and ultimately with a greater feeling of self worth.
