With a helping hand from Andy, his father, 11-year-old George makes it to the top of a big teddy at Butlins. George’s severe challenges include being blind, non-verbal, autistic, and very anxious. George is also, said Andy, “beautiful in every way.” “The holiday would simply not have been possible without your help,” Andy added. “You have expanded George’s world by many multiples and have given George an increase in confidence."
12-year-old Nday, who has learning difficulties, sets sail at the No Limits Sports Club, while her mother stands at the helm. The club offers activities for youngsters with special needs at its centre in Linlithgow, in West Lothian, Scotland. The club, which The Adamson Trust supports, has facilities for a big range of sports, both indoors and outdoors.
This is Harry, aged 4, who has ADHD, celebrating Halloween at the No Limits Sports Centre in west Lothian.
7-year-old Caleb, from Banchory, Aberdeenshire, had a fabulous time with his Mum and sister at Craig Tara, Ayr in 2022.
Caleb is severely autistic, non-verbal, very active - and is filled with joy by just being outside.
The AdamsonTrust helped the family with this break.
7-year-old Xena Beal from Northampton has Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, which means she uses crutches and other walking aides. But nothing stopped Xena having fun a summer holiday with her family at Great Yarmouth last summer. The Adamson Trust made a contribution.
Zac, aged 6, from Nottingham is autistic and doesn’t speak. But he enjoyed himself - and his iPad - during a 2022 holiday, to which The Adamson Trust contributed, at Tattershall Lakes Country Park in Lincolnshire. Zac was with his mother, sister and grandparents.
Donna’s daughter Lily, 14, from Westhill, Aberdeenshire is severely disabled with cerebral palsy and has had three grants - the maximum permitted for any one child - from The Adamson Trust. Told of a final grant last August, Donna, was totally understanding. “I just want to say thanks so much for all of the help you have given us, and for all of the wonderful memories you have helped us make. We appreciate it more than you will ever know,” she said.

11-year-old Jack, who is profoundly disabled with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, had a holiday in Plymouth in 2022 with his mother, two siblings and a friend to help with his care. “The cheque you kindly sent us went on petrol and days out at the seaside,” said Jack’s mother, Catherine, from Bromsgrove. “I cannot thank you enough for this grant as we would not have been able to enjoy the holiday without it."
