On behalf of everyone @DofE, we are so sad to hear this news.
Julia and Hans' support has made a lasting difference to our work, enabling community organisations across the UK to start running the DofE and giving life-changing opportunities to many more marginalised young people.

From a boy to a man. Forever one of our own.

Thank you for everything, Brennan ❤️

Word of the day is ‘snollygoster’ (19th century): one who abandons their principles for short-term gain or power.

We know almost nothing about her, her political views, or what she’s done to get there. But now she’s in the House of Lords, she can make laws for the rest of us for life. Thank heaven Boris Johnson took us out of the unaccountable EU!

We all need a break and without a break, too many disabled people and too many carers are reaching breaking point. Please help more people access urgently needed respite by supporting Revitalise's Give me a break appeal today. https://t.co/TvmrVXFWxL

Listen to actor Rory Kinnear describe why he supports Revitalise and what breaks mean to disabled people and carers, like his mum and late sister.

#GiveMeABreak #RevitaliseNow

[Revitalise @RevitaliseNow]

We know 56% of disabled people and carers have said they can’t afford to take a break. We know that the funding for respite has been reduced by 42% by the local authorities over the last three years.

We know we are facing a crisis.

#GiveMeABreak #RevitaliseNow #RespiteCrisis

[Revitalise @RevitaliseNow]

Our guests tell us that holidays at our centres help relieve the stress of everyday life and give them a chance to rediscover themselves.

We also know too many disabled people and carers never get a break. Ever.

The importance of a break from Revitalise Jubilee Lodge's guest, Jeni
#GiveMeABreak #RevitaliseNow

[Revitalise @RevitaliseNow]

A big part of our Give me a break campaign is sharing the importance of a respite break. A Revitalise break is more than just a holiday, it’s a lifeline, as many of our guests will tell you.

We’d love for you to tell us what holiday joy means to you.

Please support @RevitaliseNow's #GiveMeABreak appeal and help more disabled people and carers access an urgently needed respite break.
