Why Getaways?
First ever getaways
The Magical Getaway Foundation (MGF) is dedicated to gifting first ever getaways to bring hope (ie social tourism).
​
Social tourism is providing equitable access to breaks away from home for vulnerable or disadvantaged groups who would otherwise be excluded.
​
As 1 in 3 Australian children have never been on a getaway, we are committed and dedicated to help as many families as possible experience the magic and benefits of a first ever getaway.
​
It’s not about the getaway, it’s what the holiday brings which creates hope for the future:
​
-
Improved well-being and reduced stress.
-
Increased self-esteem and confidence.
-
Strengthened family communication and bonding.
-
Long-lasting, treasured memories.
-
Happier, stronger families and a more inclusive society.
-
Increased community participation and decreased social isolation.
-
Provision of new skills, wider perspectives and enhanced employability.

Each family has their own journey and story of hope.
