The Cridge Respitality Service
The Cridge Respitality Service provides parents of a child with special needs an opportunity to pause and be refreshed, providing a complimentary overnight stay for two in a hotel or bed-and-breakfast. When they arrive at their hotel, families are greeted with a delightful gift basket, courtesy of The Cridge Respitality Service.
The Cridge Respitality Gift Baskets say, "We care about you!"
There are also complimentary enhancements available for those parents who are not able to enjoy an overnight hotel stay. These may include entertainment certificates, flowers, tickets to Victoria attractions when available. This service is about ‘caring for the caregivers’.
