Expanding Respite Holidays for Families Across the UK

React is delighted to introduce Ocean Edge Holiday Park, Lancashire as our second holiday home in the Blackpool area and the latest addition to our growing portfolio of respite holiday homes for seriously ill children and their families.

Located on the stunning shores of Morecambe Bay, and just a short drive from the iconic seaside town of Blackpool, Ocean Edge offers families the opportunity to enjoy a much-needed break by the sea, creating special memories away from the challenges of daily care.

A Seaside Escape Designed for Rest, Comfort and Family Time

React’s respite holidays provide families caring for a child with a life-shortening illness the chance to step away from demanding routines and focus on what matters most: time together.

Ocean Edge combines peaceful coastal surroundings with easy access to lively attractions, offering the perfect balance for families seeking both relaxation and entertainment.

Nearby, the charming village of Heysham provides a quiet retreat with traditional shops and cafés, offering a gentle contrast to the energy and excitement of Blackpool’s famous promenade.

On-Site Facilities for the Whole Family
