“Such a special stay!” – Mental Health Awareness Week 2026

For Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re sharing real stories that show the impact time away can have on wellbeing.
 
One military family recently enjoyed a special break in Yorkshire between deployments, and a chance to reconnect after months apart before another long period of separation.
 
“After spending three months apart, this stay gave us the space and time to reconnect and have fun as a family while exploring somewhere new, with glorious sunshine too!
 
It gave us memories that will last well beyond this next deployment period.
 
Our hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating, especially travelling with young children, and it was lovely connecting with them as a dual-serving military couple.
 
We’re so grateful to Give Us Time and our hosts for such a special stay.”
 
Breaks like this give families the chance to slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories together.
