Providing accurate and up-to-date information about various aspects of the travel and holiday experience is central to our efforts to help disabled and older people.

Our staffed Information Unit has researched and produced nearly 120 different information packs comprising holiday and accommodation suggestions for people with a wide variety of special needs. These include:

• accessible hotels and B&Bs
• self-catering and farm accommodation
• holiday centres
• visitor attractions and activity holidays
• holidays for people with disabled children

Much of the accommodation has been formally inspected for access by the tourist boards or Holiday Care under the National Accessible Scheme

The Unit also holds information on accessible venues in over 12 overseas countries including:

• USA
• SPAIN
• ITALY
• GREECE & THE ISLANDS
• FRANCE
  

We also have a comprehensive database of respite care facilities in the UK, which offer disabled people short-term residence, giving their carers a break either at the same location or at home. Information about these establishments is now available on this website

Specific information packs on a range of services are also available including companies advising on:

• oxygen
• escort and companion services
• hiring of equipment.

Group inclusive holiday packs feature tour operators and useful contact lists for both UK and overseas destinations. A specific information sheet is also available for travellers with a learning disability.

Information packs are constantly being updated with new destinations being researched and added as demand indicates.
