...It was the first time away from home. I was a bit scared at the start, but then I fell in love with the place and really enjoyed my time

Who We Are

I had the best time of my life this week. It was very tiring but brilliant. My friends at home will be really jealous now when I tell them what we did this week.

Send a Child to Hucklow
Who We Are PDF Print E-mail
“Send-a-Child-to-Hucklow” Fund is a Trust to arrange and administer holidays at the Unitarian Holiday Centre, Great Hucklow, Derbyshire in the United Kingdom for groups of disadvantaged children,having no regard to religious, political, racial and other considerations.

Begun formally in 1961, on the initiative of Rev Peter Godfrey, the present Chair of Trustees, and Rev Glyn Pruce, to continue the tradition of the origin of Unitarian Holiday and Convalescent Homes in Great Hucklow at the end of the 19th Century, the Trust became a Registered Charity (No. 271585) in 1976.

With a few exceptions for special circumstances, all the holidays are offered at what is now known as “The Nightingale Centre”, echoing the original name of the main building on the Great Hucklow site.

The first holidays were in 1962: we look forward to the Golden Jubilee in 2012!
