SOMETIMES a day out can make all the difference to a family recovering from the effects of crime. Thanks to our long-standing partnership with Merlin’s Magic Wand we’re delighted to be able to provide tickets to some of the UK’s most popular Merlin attractions to children and their families whose lives have been harmed by crime.

Free passes to Merlin attractions is a key part of our well-being services allowing families to enjoy a fully-funded family break to build happy memories.

Jenny Raine, Head of Service Delivery said: “We’ve been working with Merlins Magic Wand for some years now and it’s wonderful to be able to help families who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford a special day out. We know from feedback received it can really make a difference to the healing process”
