Thank you Gill Nolan! Gill is one of our Referrers based in the North West. During Lockdown one of Gill’s neighbours made these beautiful rainbows. What’s made them extra special for all of us is that the neighbour’s adult son, who has Downs Syndrome, has made the bobbles and he loved every minute of it. The rainbows have been shared with neighbours in return for a donation to ABOAB, up to now Gill has donated £70 but still due some more .
Thank you to everyone who has contributed.
We are keeping a very close eye on the Government guidance during this Coronavirus pandemic. We hope that we will be able to start arranging breaks away in the near future but we are very aware of the difficulties faced by everyone at this time.
We hope that all our referrers, guests, property owners, supporters and friends are safe and well at this time and we send our best wishes to them all.

We love a bit of feedback!
Some of our guests have just returned from the Lake District and had this to say….
“The property was absolutely beautiful, and it was very much appreciated. We went with our daughter and her partner and spent a lovely week together. I hadn’t had a day or even a hour to myself in 15 months so I really appreciated the break away from home. We can’t get over how much you have all done for us. The break away was absolutely lovely.”
Happy days
We have been gifted weeks in 13 properties through the ‘Heart of the Lakes’ agency.
This is brilliant news and we currently matching up the properties with guests. Ange would be thrilled.
