Respite Properties

Respite Holiday Homes

Since 2001, the 4 Cancer Group has provided thousands of days out and short breaks for families affected by cancer. Everything we do is focused on creating lasting memories for the families we help – for the cancer patient and their wider family.

The 4 Cancer Group has two respite holiday properties on the South Coast of England.  These are located in the beautiful towns of Yarmouth (Isle of Wight) and in Pagham (West Sussex). Each of our two bedroom respite holiday homes sleep five people and are located in two of Southern England’s most beatiful regions.

Whilst our Pagham (West Sussex) property is arguably more suited to younger families due to the large number of activities which can be found onsite, our respite holiday cottage in Yarmouth (Isle of Wight) still offers groups of all ages a fantastic selection of activities for a fun fuelled holiday.

Yarmouth, Isle Of Wight

Located less than one mile from Yarmouth’s car ferry port (Isle of Wight), our respite cottage at West Bay is close to many of the Isle of Wight’s best beaches, walking paths, historic attractions and adventure parks. It is the perfect location from which to explore the island.

Our two bedroom house sleeps up to five people thanks to the sofa bed in the lounge. Both bedrooms are located on the first floor. There is a king size bed in the main bedroom and two single beds in the second bedroom. There is a bathroom on the first floor with a toilet, sink and shower (over bath).

Downstairs, the main living area is open plan with a well-equipped kitchen and a spacious lounge area. There is also a downstairs toilet. To the front of the house, there is a small decking area with views across the park’s beautiful communal lawns.

Pagham, West Sussex

Located in beautiful Pagham (near Chichester in West Sussex), our new static caravan occupies a fantastic plot within Haven’s Church Farm holiday park. Pagham is ideally suited for exploring the region’s nature reserves, historic buildings and the South Downs National Park.

Our luxury two bedroom static caravan sleeps up to five people thanks to the sofa bed in the lounge.  There is a king size bed in the main bedroom and two single beds in the second bedroom. There is an ensuite bathroom adjoining the main bedroom with sink and toilet. The main bathroom has a shower cubicle plus an additional toilet and sink. The main living area is open plan with a well-equipped kitchen and a spacious lounge area. 

The main facilities of the Park are located circa 250m from the caravan. These include two swimming pools, a show lounge, restaurants and bars, arcade, supermarket, crazy golf, 9 hole golf course, playgrounds and much more!

How Do I Apply?

Whilst most of our referrals come from the GPs, Oncologists or other NHS Healthcare professionals, we actively enourage British families affected by cancer to apply to us directly. 

In terms of eligibility, we typically help the immediate families of cancer patients where there has been a diagnosis in the past 5 years. We also help families who are struggling to come to terms with a bereavement up to 18 months after someone has passed away. These are just guidelines however and we assess each application on a case by case basis.

Importantly, medical documentation will be needed to support your application and all applicants must seek permission to travel from their GP or oncologist.
