The Children's Respite Trust truly believes that no family should have to care for a child with disabilities alone and so they provide respite at their Centre in Uckfield and through their Community Support-Workers across Sussex and beyond.
For some, the care provided means that parents get to spend time with siblings of the disabled children. For others it is simply an opportunity for some sleep, but for all families, it is a chance to do something that the rest of us take for granted, while the children have the best time possible. http://www.crtcharity.org/
