' My dad's mentally ill and hurts himself. I have to look after him and my brother. I don't go to school much because I get bullied. The best thing that happens is when I go to CCHF for a break every year.' Alisha, aged 10

125th Children's Party
CCHF kicked off its 125th anniversary celebrations with an outdoor party for 125 of the children we support. The day was hosted in the gardens of our residential site in West Sussex with local a local events company delivering a fantastic day for the children from London and Sussex.
Activities for the children included face painting, dance classes and large scale games including what's the time Mr Wolf, slug racing (children wriggling accross the grass in sleeping bags!) and Alice in Wonderland croquet.
CCHF would like to thank the companies listed below for their generous support; their help was instrumental in allowing us to put the event on. The children had an amazing day and they all left smiling and happy. The day was the highlight in the summer for many of the children and will be a day they will remember for a long time.
