Our Mission

We're aiming to build Ellie’s Haven on the outskirts of Looe in Cornwall to make the most of short and precious lives.

We will offer holidays and short breaks in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Ellie's Haven will be a home from home experience for children and young people with life limiting/life threatening conditions and those with  long term illnesses, and for their parents/guardians and siblings and their carer/s, if needed.

Our Objectives

We appreciate that what we are taking on is a mammoth task but we have the drive and determination that we will succeed. We have already had land donated to us but now we have to build Ellie's haven with all that entails regarding design specifications, planning and so on.

The building itself may well cost in excess of one-and-a-half million pounds and, once constructed, will cost approximately three-hundred-thousand pounds a year to run.

Apart from any funding that we may be able to secure through Governmental Grant Schemes or National Lottery funding, we will be entirely dependent upon funding from charitable donations. Towards this end we need to raise the profile of this project to a national level in the hope that we can attract contributions from as wide a source as possible.

From here on in, fund raising will need to be our raison d'etre.

We have an official launch for Ellie's Haven on Friday 9th November 2007 when we will be holding a Winter Ball and auction at the Hannafore Point Hotel in Looe.
