Images welcomes deserving groups and families
Once again Newquay Lions, with the help of the new Towan Blystra Lions, hosted 29 deserving families from as far afield as Liverpool, Rochdale, Manchester and Dover as well as a few from closer to home.
All of the families are selected and sponsored by their local Lions club and visit Newquay as guests of the Newquay Lions.
The holiday is growing each year and this year all 131 holidaymakers have had a brilliant time at Hendra Holiday park, visiting local attractions and enjoying the fantastic facilities the park offers.
As part of their week, all the families were invited to Images Photography, for a free Family or Group Photoshoot in our purpose-built Photography Studio. Images then printed and mounted all the photos, which were presented to all the families later that evening during a large event.
Andy Hannan explained why the week was so special. "All of these families have had a really rough time in previous years, some have lost loved ones or have children with serious, life limiting illnesses, others have severe learning difficulties. Our aim is to give them a break from their everyday routine and the chance to spend time together as a family. For some of our families this was their first ever holiday together, some had never even seen the sea."
Matthew Bunt, from Images Photography was over the moon with the takeup of their offer. "We're always very supportive of both the Lions Clubs in Newquay, and believe the work they do for the local Community and beyond every year is amazing and selfless. We have worked with the Lions Holiday first hand for a number of years, and to see what an effect it really does have on these families makes everything worthwhile."
"We had dozens of families come in, all friendly and obviously having a great week. They were all a pleasure, and the reactions of many of them when they recieved their print made it all worthwhile!"
