Go on a Sense Holiday

Sense Holidays promise postcard-worthy adventures in the country’s most picturesque spots. All with expert carers and trusted volunteers at your side. This year we’re celebrating 50 years of running holidays for disabled people in the UK!

Every Sense Holiday is an opportunity to make friends for life. You’ll be grouped together with other holiday-makers based on your interests, age and communication styles. Our holidays are for people aged 8 and upwards and are grouped into holidays for under and over 18’s.

Want to try canoeing, climbing or even horse riding? Or is a culture-filled city break more your thing? We’ve got the right holiday for you!

Who can go on Sense Holidays?

If you’re interested in a Sense Holiday, you should apply as early as possible – places fill up quickly!

We offer places on Sense Holidays to people aged 8 and over who have complex communication. That could mean that you have:

• Sensory impairment
• Learning disability
• Physical disability
• Autism

This isn’t an exhaustive list. If you’re not sure if Sense Holidays are for you, speak to our friendly Holidays Team.

There’s no upper age limit on Sense Holidays – we take children and adults.
