What is the Breaking Down Barriers to Breaks Appeal?
For those living with the challenges of rare genetic condition, and their families, a short break away is a simple way to help prevent burnout, ease pressure on relationships and create positive shared memories -yet they often feel out of reach.
Most ‘affordable’ holiday accommodation is not accessible, and specialist accommodation can be incredibly expensive.
As a result, many families go without a break.
We work to break down these barriers
Our Family Respite Service provides free accessible breaks, providing families impacted by rare genetic conditions with the opportunity to spend quality time together and support their wellbeing.
But we face a challenge:
Wheelchair accessible caravans typically only come as two-bedroom units. This means larger families often wait much longer for a break via our service, as their needs can only be met through far more expensive specialist accommodation.
We’re very close to changing that, but we need your help…
Together with some wonderful industry partners who have captured the vision, we have designed the UK’s first fully accessible three bedroom static caravan – created specifically for families like ours.
