Revitalise is a national charity providing respite care in a holiday setting for disabled people and carers. Revitalise also offers inspirational opportunities for volunteers through one of the largest and most diverse volunteering programmes of any UK charity.
Revitalise run three accessible holiday centres in Chigwell in Essex, Southampton and Southport. Our mission is to enable disabled people in the UK to access essential breaks with care, and provide inspirational opportunities for volunteers. We firmly believe that disabled people should have the same rights, freedoms, responsibilities and quality of life as those without disabilities.
A Revitalise respite holiday is a refreshing twist on traditional respite care. We offer a break that feels like a proper holiday. This is why at Revitalise we talk about respite holidays rather than respite care – we provide holidays with care.
Our guests come to us not just for the care they need but also for a fabulous holiday experience.

The expert nursing and care staff at our centres can provide support for people with more than 150 different disabilities, including Alzheimer’s and dementia.
We pioneer life-saving research to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
From our volunteers and supporters to our scientists, doctors and nurses, we're all here to save more lives by preventing, controlling and curing all cancers. Together, we're leading the world in discovering and developing newer, kinder treatments and getting closer to cures. As a result we've helped double survival rates in just 40 years.
But we can't stop there. Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer and this statistic is getting worse. We don't receive Government funding for our research, so every step towards beating cancer relies on every pound donated. Research saves lives and our work is critical to ensuring more people beat this devastating disease.
Sooner or later we will find a way to cure all cancers. Let's make it sooner
