Do you know 98% holidaymakers came home either relaxed, happy, or having done things they really wanted to.
Read about what children and adults have to say about a Sense holiday in 2009, we've included some feedback from parents as well.
“I felt valued and on equal terms with others who are not disabled. This felt very empowering.”
“It was amazing and hard to put into words how good it felt. It sounded dramatic but I stepped into a world I felt I belonged to but couldn't reach.”
“I was loved and protected, cared for and it made it so special for me.”
“My volunteer gave 110% to me. He lifted my spirits. He treated me with dignity and respect. He was very patient and above all fun!”
“I grew in confidence, volunteers let me do as much for myself as I could.”
“It is the only break I get in a year. What I would do without it I don't know, but I do know if I did not get that week I would have to think seriously if I could carry on looking after my daughter.”
84% of parents / carers said “the holiday is the most significant break from caring that I get”
“When our daughter is with Sense we can really relax because we know that our daughter is with people she enjoys being with the most and we are 100% confident about her health and safety.”
“We have not been apart from our son for 10 years. It gave us a chance to think about him and us. It made us appreciate him more!”
“I cannot begin to tell you what a valuable break this was for me. The week was relaxing and the days weren't centered my child’s needs.”
