Every summer, disabled adults and children all over the UK start getting ready to do something they’ve never done before – going away on holiday! For many, Sense Holidays are the first time they leave home and family for an adventure of their own. It’s such an exciting week!

These holidays are a chance for new experiences, new friendships and making memories that’ll last a lifetime. You’ll be there as our holidaymakers dance, sail and horse ride their way through each day. There’s no end to what they can do.

By volunteering, you’re also giving families and carers a break from supporting their loved ones. Having this week to themselves means so much, especially when they’re able to relax knowing that we’re keeping everyone safe and happy.
