'Away From It All' Holidays are provided by most dioceses for families

Members in Croydon prepare packs to give to families going through
a difficult time. 'New Home' packs were given to families who have
had to leave their homes and start afresh because of violence and
abuse from their partner. Many had to leave behind most of their
possessions and set up home from scratch. The gift of a starter
pack not only helps financially, but also conveys the message that
someone cares. 'Baby' packs were given to mothers in difficult circumstances
and with few financial resources.
