"The children gained a lot of new skills on the HopScotch holiday, they tried many new activities and became more confident. Some of the children had not been away from home before and these children coped incredibly well."
HopScotch Children’s Charity provides respite breaks for children in Scotland. It is our mission to give children a break from challenging and stressful home environments, and provide a welcoming and nurturing setting for them to create and develop good childhood memories.
Since 1998 we have run an annual programme of respite breaks from Ardvullin, our holiday centre in the Scottish Highlands. To date 6564 children have benefitted from having a HopScotch holiday, and each year the range of experiences and activities we are able to provide continues to grow.
