When and why was Cape Cove founded?
It’s been years of dreams in the making. It was founded by The Coves to say yes to each other, to their community and to the planet we all share.

Family Holiday Charity
At Cape Cove we support the great work of Family Holiday Charity, helping families get time away together, often for the first time ever.
The charity is for children of families who have never seen the sea. It’s for teenagers who can’t remember when they last saw their mum smile, and for parents having to choose between a day out and a new pair of school shoes. It’s for young carers, kinship carers and families facing illness isolation and bereavement.
Holidays open up new possibilities. Time to reconnect, try new things and make happy memories together. Running, playing, climbing trees and flying kites. Time for picnics and bare feet. Sharing a laugh and watching the tide come in. Buckets, spades and sandy sandwiches.
Family Holiday Charity finds out what each family needs and takes care of all the details. That way families can take care of the most important thing - each other.
Families choose the holiday they need. It could be a caravan on the coast, a woodland adventure or a day out at a theme park, museum or farm. And whatever the weather, it means time spent together. Even just a day’s holiday helps build relationships, confidence and hope for the future.
