Milton Keynes families receive free UK holiday breaks

September 16, 2026 1 min read MKLBD Newsroom via www.milton-keynes.gov.uk

Milton Keynes City Council is collaborating with The Getaway Foundation, a charity based in Buckinghamshire.

Breaks for Vulnerable Families

This partnership aims to offer a respite for vulnerable families within Milton Keynes. The initiative focuses on providing much-needed breaks for those facing challenging circumstances.

Support Since 2021

Since the collaboration began in 2021, The Getaway Foundation has successfully facilitated 104 free holidays across the UK. These breaks are made possible through the generosity of the charity’s supporters who provide donations.

Creating Positive Memories

The holidays are designed to enable families experiencing financial hardship or other difficulties to spend valuable time together. This support helps them create positive memories and strengthen family bonds.

The City Council actively works alongside local organisations. This ensures that families who would benefit most from the holiday support are identified and referred.
