Synopsis "Making Memories That Last (in English)"
Everyone has the opportunity to do something to help underprivileged, disadvantaged or disabled children to try and put a smile on their faces and create some happy memories.That is if you want to, or can find the time, or have the motivation, passion and wherewithal to help children less fortunate than yourself?Do you know what it is like to grow up from 5 years old without a mum? I do. I consider myself underprivileged and disadvantaged.My long-term dream, desire and passion has been to help children less fortunate than me.In 2011, I started to realise my dream and desire to help underprivileged and disadvantaged children. To provide a free holiday, maybe to the seaside, or to stunning countryside, or to the shores of Lake Windermere, for children, many of whom have never had a holiday or break in their lives.This book is about the last 10 years of the charity and the stories of families, children, carers, and supporters who have enjoyed a free holiday courtesy of The Principle Trust Children's Charity.Dr Margot Sunderland has written many books about the science behind how holidays make children happier, smarter and provide happy memories. These benefits do not stop after the children are home and how family holidays become happiness anchors for kids and help them cope with stress.The late Sir Tom Moore and his daughter Hannah say that it is holiday memories that children treasure forever. They are magical and important times, extremely important however simple they may seem. Long may The Principle Trust continue to provide hope, kindness and love to hundreds of deserving children.My and the charity journey is only ten years old. We have lots more to give and time to put lots more smiles on children's faces, making memories for them to last forever.Enjoy our journey. Join us and be part of it. You will feel better for the experience, I guarantee it.Mike Davies MBE
