Last night we were finalising plans for the SB Banger Rally to Nürburgring on 23 April.

The challenge is simple: complete the rally in a road-legal car costing £500 or less. Anything above that triggers forfeits within our scoring system, so staying under budget really matters.

This is a call out to anyone who may be able to help us source a road-legal vehicle for £500, or close to it. If you know of something available, or can point us in the right direction, we’d really appreciate it.

And if this sounds like your kind of adventure and you’d like to join us on the journey to the Ring, feel free to reach out.

To everyone working over Christmas:
Thank you for putting others first when it matters most. We truly value the sacrifice you make to keep us safe while being away from your own families. Your dedication does not go unnoticed.

Collectively, we have gone further!

In 2025, we had the pleasure of providing respite breaks for 31 families.

And it’s all been made possible by the incredible support of our sponsors, quizzers, dragon boat racers, and everyone on social media who likes and shares our stories.

Thank you all so very much.

These families have been through incredibly tough times.

Yet they remain resilient and dedicated to helping others, often putting themselves last.

Sometimes we don’t recognise the trauma we carry, and we hide it in an attempt to appear strong.

But it has a way of creeping up on us when we least expect it.

That’s why looking after our mental and physical health is so important.

Those on the frontline face countless challenges, both at work and behind the scenes at home.

The strain can take its toll on relationships, often made worse by a lack of understanding or communication.

That’s why our breaks are invaluable.

They provide an escape, time on the open road, anywhere in the UK, free from constant technological distractions and surrounded by the healing power of nature.

Our campervan breaks help families reconnect, gain perspective, and create unforgettable memories.

They remind people of their value and give them time to simply breathe again.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our supporters, and without recognising the sacrifices made by our armed forces, blue light personnel, and their families.

Thank you for helping us make a real difference.

Here's to 2026 Sponsored Breaks

A Heartfelt Thank You from John and Rebecca

Dear Simon,

We just wanted to take a moment to send a massive thank you to you and your wife for everything you've done to make our trip away in the V-Dub possible. Your generosity and support have meant the world to us.

As we picked up the van in Wolverhampton, we decided to head down to the Cotswolds for a few days. We visited places like Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm and the Farmers Dog and Farmers Pup, and made time to explore Oxford and some of the surrounding towns and villages. We spent two nights on a site at Standlake, and on the way back, we stayed at another site in Moreton-in-Marsh.

The campervan was absolutely perfect for our needs. It was so easy to pack up and hit the road, and once we were on site, it took just minutes to set everything up again. Every little detail was taken care of, and everything we needed was listed in the information pack you provided—so thoughtful and organized.

This campervan trip, though, was a haven for both Rebecca and me. It allowed us to escape, recharge, and just enjoy a few days of peace and quiet, without the constant demands of daily life. It was a break that couldn’t have come at a better time, and I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity.

Thank you again for making it happen. Your hard work and kindness have truly made a difference.

Cheers,
John and Rebecca

John has spent years working tirelessly in the civil service, often on call 24/7, and the pressure can be immense. John is battling cancer head on and is dedicated to beat it whilst living life to its fullest.

Another beautiful gifted respite break made possible thanks to our amazing sponsors.

This week we had the privilege of providing a much-needed break to a wonderful mom, nan, and full-time carer, Lesley, who spends every day looking after her mother.

They enjoyed a peaceful trip, visiting Wolverley in Kidderminster for the Christmas Light Switch-On, followed by time in Himley, a lovely place to relax and recharge.

Lesley shared how much the break meant to them:

“It has definitely improved both of our mental health, just to be able to go away and not worry about anything. The campervan is amazing – couldn’t ask for better. What you do for people goes above and beyond. You are very special people. I really appreciate you giving me the chance to live my dream.”

Here’s to more gifted breaks, more smiles, and more lives changed.

Lest we forget.

As we pause to remember the fallen, I also hope we never lose sight of the values that made our country great!

Courage, unity, and compassion.

Their sacrifice was not in vain, they gave their lives so that we may live in freedom and continue building a nation they would be proud of.

In our own small way, we’re doing our bit to recognise and appreciate the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces through our gifted respite campervan breaks, offering them a chance to rest, reflect, and reconnect.

Another wonderful gifted Campervan Break Sponsored Breaks shared.

This time, firefighter Lewis from Capita Fire and Rescue at RAF Leeming

And his partner Alice, a paramedic with Yorkshire Ambulance Service.

Took our campervan to North Wales, exploring Betws-y-Coed and Llandudno.

Lewis told us, “The van was absolutely amazing it had everything we needed.

Couldn’t recommend you guys enough. It was so nice to be away in nature

And our mental health definitely improved. Loved every minute.”

Our emergency services put others first every single day.

They face danger, stress, and trauma so the rest of us can feel safe.

Often at great personal cost. It’s easy to forget the toll that constant service takes,

And how vital it is to take time to rest, reconnect, and recover.

Sponsored Breaks exists to give that time back. To say thank you, in a small but meaningful way, to those who give so much of themselves for others.

A message we wanted to share from one of our Sponsored Break families:

“I served with the Royal Artillery, and our recent trip to Littlesea, Weymouth,

Has meant more to me and my family than words can say.

My wife and I took our two little ones, Freya (5) and Theo (3), for a much-needed break and it’s been incredible.

We even won the prize bingo after I told my little girl that Grandad would help her win.

This location was the last place I had a family holiday with my dad over 30 years ago.

Winning that prize made me stop and think for the first time in 20 years, I truly felt my dad was still with me.

Losing him was a huge mental challenge, but this weekend has helped me heal in ways I didn’t expect.

As I celebrate my birthday today, I’m on a real high and grateful for the memories we’ve made and for the kindness that made it possible.

Nothing could have been done any better everyone has been amazing.

I’ve made new friends and would love to offer any help I can to the brilliant service you provide.”

Stories like this remind us why Sponsored Breaks exists.

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters who make these moments possible!

Helping families take time out, reconnect, and find peace in the places that mean the most.

One of our recent respite breaks gave a couple the chance to explore the beauty and delights of Cornwall.

A trip that truly worked wonders for them. Unfortunately, Cornwall’s narrow roads proved tricky, and the camper’s wing mirror took a knock.

Bless them, they called us straight away in a panic, but we reassured them that these things happen and there was no need to worry.

The most important thing is that they were safe and unhurt.

At the end of the day, that’s exactly why we have insurance.

We’re incredibly grateful to our sponsors, whose support makes it all possible and shows how much they value people’s wellbeing.

We’re so pleased to have recently gifted a respite break to Andy

A serving Warrant Officer in  REME, along with Toni, Louis and Ana.

Based in beautiful Llanuwchllyn, Wales, their campervan stay had everything they needed for camping comfort.

With the sun on their side, they were able to truly switch off from life, enjoy family time, and even take on the challenge of climbing Snowdon!

Andy shared that the break was “good for the soul” – and that’s exactly why we do what we do.

We are incredibly grateful to be in a position to gift these breaks.

Each one makes a real difference, one break at a time. 💚 Sponsored Breaks
