    Hi @Pipreid63 and a warm welcome to the community!

    There is holiday grants for disabled people and their families that may be helpful to have a look at as there may be something there that you may be eligable for!

    It's lovely to have you here and I hope you enjoy your time on the community!

    Hi @Pipreid63. Please don't feel ashamed for asking for help. We all need help sometimes and that's ok. If you click this link https://www.disability-grants.org/holiday-grants.html you can find some grants to help you get a holiday.

    There may be some other members here who have personal experience that can help.

    Can you explain what you mean when you say it doesn't work? Do you mean the link or that you've tried to get help in the past? The helpline might be able to help you. You can call them and talk through what you need. Their number is 0808 800 3333.

    Oh I'm sorry, of course. They're currently opening 10am until 5pm just to make you aware. I forget that not everyone works as late as me!
