Could an available week in your cottage give a family affected by cancer something to look forward to?

Snaptrip, Independent Cottages and ‘Something To Look Forward To’ are working together to turn otherwise unused holiday cottage stays into precious breaks for people and families affected by cancer.

Supported by

A week that might otherwise stay empty could mean everything to someone affected by cancer.

‘Something To Look Forward To’ supports people affected by cancer and cancer poverty by providing gifts and experiences generously donated by individuals and businesses.

If you have an available week you would be happy to gift, you could give someone affected by cancer precious time away with the people they love.

You give the week, the charity takes care of everything else.

Our cottage owners are already making a difference.

We were able to have precious family time.

Our children have missed out on ‘normal family life’ as I have been fighting cancer for a long time. Being so far away from home forced us to just stop and enjoy. It meant the world to watch my family laugh and relax together and act like children, rather than having ‘to be brave’.

A few common questions

No. You can donate as many or as few nights as you wish. A weekend, midweek break or full week can all make a real difference.

No. We do not expect owners to donate peak periods. Low-season and midweek availability is very welcome.

No. If you are simply interested in finding out more, please contact us first. We can talk through the process before you decide whether you would like to offer a stay.

The gift recipient can be asked to pay a service charge and deposit set by you. Some owners choose to waive these charges and others use them to reduce their out-of-pocket costs. This is entirely up to you.

Holiday cottage stays are one of our main gifts. They are allocated carefully rather than on a first-come, first-served basis. We consider factors including medical circumstances, financial impact, previous support received from the charity and whether the property is suitable for the individual or family.
