    Hi, as I said earlier, I help run a holiday group for disabled people.
    WE have so many providers, who offer ground floor rooms with easy access, profiling beds, hoists, shower chairs and wet rooms.

    There are charities who offer holiday grants and there are subsidised places too.


    Very laudable and worthwhile and if only it was easier for us to get from place to place life would be so much better. Unfortunately travel is more aimed at healthy people and is run by and administered by healthy people who simply do not understand the additional needs of the disabled. Travel becomes a matter of looking pathetic and hoping someone nearby will come to the rescue.

    Well done you though!

    It`s a shame you don't know just how much help is out there. I found it.

    Very true @Topkitten.....the main problem I have is with the travelling involved. Public transport of virtually all types is difficult at its very best.  And that's when I'm having one of my better days.
