Why send a disabled child on a five-star Sense Holiday?

Sense Holidays may be the only chance disabled children have to enjoy a much-needed break

Disabled children with complex needs, such as deafblindness, often have little opportunity to get away. They may struggle to go on holiday at all, as resorts often aren’t accessible for their needs.

They’re an amazing way to build independence and confidence

Giving disabled children a chance to participate in new activities in a safe environment provides them with a real sense of confidence and independence. They’re supported to try new things, to communicate with others, and to feel connected to the world around them.

Each holiday has a lasting impact on a child’s life

Parents often tell us that their child seems more grown up following their holiday. Children will have had the opportunity to learn that, with the right support, they can still thrive.

It’s increasingly difficult to fund Sense Holidays

There are always more children who want to come on holiday than places we can fund.

And this year, Sense faces increased costs which are making things especially tough.
That’s why support like yours is so vital – we rely on donors like you to keep Sense
Holidays running each year.
