Revitalise is a British charity providing respite holidays with care for disabled people and their carers. Founded by Joan Brander MBE in 1963, Revitalise was formerly known as Vitalise and also the Winged Fellowship Trust. They currently operate three UK centres which cater for physically disabled people and people with Alzheimer's and Dementia. In 2014, Revitalise launched its Beyond Respite Capital Appeal, which aims to double the charity’s impact by creating three new centres. ==History== Founding Trustee, Joan Brander MBE, set up the Winged Fellowship Trust in 1963 in order to deliver respite for disabled people and their families. From the start, the charity set out to satisfy three main objectives: * to provide specially designed and equipped centres where physically disabled people could have an enjoyable break and the opportunity to restore their wellbeing and capacity to cope; * to provide support and a break for family carers – many of whom provide round the clock care for their loved ones; * to provide residential volunteering opportunities for adults of all ages and backgrounds in order to enrich the holiday experience of the charity’s guests. In 2004 the Winged Fellowship Trust became Vitalise. It changed its name again to Revitalise in 2014 to reflect the transformative effect the charity has on people’s lives. Today, the organisation provides around 5,000 respite breaks a year across its centres in Essex, Southampton and Southport, along with 4,000 weeks of volunteering opportunities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Revitalise」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
