Matt's Respite Retreats

A world where families facing cancer can rest, reconnect and make memories


"At Matt’s Respite Retreats, we believe that everyone affected by cancer deserves time to rest, recharge, and reconnect with the people they love. We provide free respite holidays for individuals and families facing the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. Our peaceful static caravan at Haven Weymouth Bay offers a safe and comforting space away from the clinical routines of treatment and hospital visits — a place where families can simply breathe again.

Each break allows guests to spend precious quality time together, creating moments of laughter, calm, and togetherness that often get lost amid appointments and uncertainty. Surrounded by nature and the soothing sound of the sea, families can enjoy simple pleasures — a walk on the beach, shared meals, or quiet evenings together. These are more than holidays; they are opportunities to heal emotionally and strengthen bonds.

Our mission is to lift the weight of financial and emotional worry, giving families a much-needed pause to make lasting, meaningful memories during some of life’s most difficult times."
