Welcome to the Childflight Website!
ChildFlight is a children's charity established in 1987. Based at Manchester Airport with representatives and strong fund raising links in the areas of Manchester, Blackpool, Wirral and the North West of England. ChildFlight is a charity which specialises in providing flights and holidays for sick and deserving children of all ages, (essentially from the North West of England), for example children who require medical treatment abroad or have missed out on childhood experiences due to illness or who are socially deserving.
While the voluntary team of ChildFlight provide the expertise, enthusiasm and administration, it is the generosity of many companies, organisations and individuals in raising and donating money, that makes it possible to bring not only sunshine and fun into childrens lives, but a sense of wonder, adventure, laughter and much needed medical help.
As ChildFlight is operated entirely by volunteers 99p in £1 donated is used to provide flights and holidays for children.
An average flight for medical treatment / therapy costs £500.
Florida 2005 cost around £135,000, it is estimated Florida 2007 will cost almost £200,000
