The Give Us Time host’s house in Umbria, Italy was spacious, spotlessly clean and authentically rustic and Italian. It had all the modern amenities that you could wish for and was in such a beautiful and peaceful location. We had such a relaxing break visiting hilltop villages, sampling the local cuisine, and enjoying some fine weather.

Our huge thanks to Give Us Time and their generous hosts who make these wonderful breaks possible and support the armed forces family. I would encourage anyone from the armed forces community who meet the eligibility criteria to sign up and take the opportunity of a respite break.

A grateful Give Us Time recipient
