Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Who is eligible for a holiday?

    Holibobs provides holidays to children and young adults diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia up to the age of 19 living in Wales.

    We aim to fulfil as many holiday wishes as possible however every holiday is dependent upon the funding we have available.  We are a newly established charity, as of September 2018 so may not be in a position at the moment to satisfy every request although this would be our ultimate goal.

  • How do I apply for a holiday?

    If you are a social worker or health professional specialising in children’s oncology and you know of a child or young adult who you believe deserves a holiday wish, then please get in touch using one of the contact methods below.


    info@holibobscharity.org.uk 


    All applications for a holiday must be accompanied by a letter from a consultant or social worker specifying the child’s medical condition.  

  • Who can come on holiday?

    The holidays that we provide will be for the ill child and their immediate family.  If the child is part of a one parent family then we will also pay the cost of another accompanying adult to help.

  • Are there restrictions on holidays offered?

    We are a newly formed charity, registered with the charity commission in September 2018, and for the moment can only fulfil wishes to destinations within the UK.  


    The destination and timing of each holiday must also be approved by the Child’s consultant to ensure that it will not affect the child’s treatment protocol or any other concerns they may have.

  • Does the family have to pay for the Holiday?

    No. The cost of the holiday will be fully covered by Holibobs, including travel insurance if required. The family would need to be able to cover the cost of the spending money needed whilst on the holiday.

  • Does the family have to book the holiday?

    No. All arrangements for the holiday will be made by Holibobs taking the stress of organising away from the family.  Our objective is to make this as easy as possible for the families we support.

  • What are your sources of funding?

    Holibobs depends upon fundraising to enable us to fulfil holiday requests.
