As a national charity, Holiday Care has to work hard in an extremely competitive environment to raise funds to provide our service. Although holiday taking by disabled people may not have the emotive pull of the work of charities dealing with children, animals and those with life-threatening illness, we know just how important our activities are.

Many disabled people lead lives based on a restrictive and demoralising regime. The chance of a break of any kind can therefore be considerable boost and can add considerably to the quality of their life. We know this because disabled people have told us – and what’s more we know too that our work makes a difference. Nearly 40 per cent of those who contact us for information make holiday or travel bookings within 12 weeks of hearing from us.

While we still receive some financial support from the tourist boards, companies and trusts – and are most grateful for it – we are having to generate more revenue from our own activities to sustain our information service. So your help could make a real difference.

If you’re reviewing what support you’d like to give to charity, now or in the future, do please consider the work of Holiday Care. There are nine million people in the UK with disabilities, so at some point in your life disability will have an impact on you, your family members or friends. Then think how important an annual break is to you.
