Story

The THHN is a registered charity (no.1146245 ) based in Torquay, on the English Riviera, founded by local hotelier, Luke Tillen.

The THHN provides free action packed holidays to families who have children suffering from serious illness, to bereaved families who have lost a child or parent and to families who have a terminally ill parent. The THHN is committed to providing as many holidays as possible to wonderful families who are going through a terrible time.

The THHN is a network of businesses and individuals who all help provide action packed holidays for visiting families. The network consists of hotels, b&bs, self-catering accommodation providers, restaurants, visitor attractions and all sorts of other businesses who offer completely free accommodation and services.

It started with one hotel offering one family one holiday and is now a network of over 130 businesses and has provided over 380 holidays in less than 5 years.

The holidays are all offered through over 200 charities to ensure that those most in need are given the chance to have a few days away in a beautiful location. A chance to spend some quality time together as a family. For some, it is the last holiday they spend all together.

What are we raising money for during the Riviera to Riviera Bike Ride?As well as continuing to provide as many holidays as possible, the THHN is going to build a bungalow. Not just any bungalow but one fully equipped to provide everything that families with high level care needs require. One that is a facility which will enable families that couldn't normally consider a holiday the opportunity for a little respite in a wonderful location. The money raised during the Riviera to Riviera Bike Ride will go to help this vital and challenging project.

Does the THHN really make a difference? Absolutely. To see how much read the quotes from just a few of those who have been given a THHN holiday:

“We have just returned from a wonderful family holiday. We cannot endorse highly enough the good work of the charity which is providing many happy memories for families such as ours. So thank you THHN for your generosity and we hope to see you again one day.”

“We can't put into words how grateful we all are to you – and everyone involved in THHN for giving us a week of fun, laughter and memories that we will treasure forever.”

“Whatever happens to our family this year, next year or any time now, we'll have these memories and nothing can take it away, no matter how difficult and traumatic things can be. The wonderful thing about the THHN is that many people give what they can – be it a week in their hotel, a fish and chip meal, a cream tea or a free pass to their attraction. Put all this together and a family gets the holiday of a lifetime!”

Thank you for any help you are able to give us
