The Tavistock Branch of the Musucular Dystrophy Campaign has successfully organised an annual respite holiday for local young people with MD for over 35 years.

Tavistock MD Group Holiday  in 2008

Through our Holiday Project, we can:

  • provide young people with MD with a unique opportunity to socialise with others in a similar situation, as well as the chance to integrate in a fun way with able-bodied young people - a much-needed chance to escape the reality of knowing that they will die at a young age.

  • provide a well-earned break for their regular carers and families. In particular parents have a chance to focus their attention on siblings for a while.

  • enable our young volunteer helpers to experience the problems facing those with disabilities and to widen their own horizons.
