Ellie's Haven is a charity that plans to offer relief to families with children suffering long term and life limiting illnesses. In order to do this, it needs to raise £1.6 million to build a new type of holiday haven in south-east Cornwall - see the artist's impressions to the right.

The planned facility will enable families to stay together whilst on holiday - something that most parents would like but often can't achieve at present.

The concept also enables therapists and other professionals to help several families on a single visit to the retreat, considerably improving efficiency and cutting patient waiting lists.

A survey of prospective users indicates high demand for this non-medical centre, which is far less costly to build and operate than a conventional children's hospice. However, it complements rather than competes with hospices, focusing on providing holidays for the whole family rather than medical care for the disabled child.
