About Beaulieu House

Beaulieu Respite supports Isle of Wight disabled children and their families through making their lives that bit nicer at Beaulieu House in Newport.

Beaulieu House is THE ONLY DISABLED CHILDREN’S OVERNIGHT RESPITE CENTRE ON THE ISLAND.

Beaulieu House is a council-run facility, however, with tight budgets, the council can only afford to pay for the necessities. Beaulieu Respite is a registered charity and all of our staff are volunteers, so almost every penny raised goes directly to make the children’s lives nicer. We provide the extras that the council cannot.
