Holiday Care

About

Holiday Care is a national charity based at Croydon in south London and has been established for 22 years. We are supported by the UK’s national tourist boards, the travel industry and a number of well-known corporates, trusts and voluntary sector organisations.

The Enabling Partnership

We are members of the Enabling Partnership, a group of disability-related charities including RADAR and the National Federation of Shopmobility, run under the auspices of the former Enham Trust at Andover in Hampshire. The Partnership provides core services to member charities, helping them operate more efficiently in their mission to give greater independence to disabled people in all aspects of their daily lives.

Our Mission

Holiday Care believes that everyone needs the opportunity to get away at least once a year with family and friends. We aim to give disabled and older people the chance to do that.
We do not provide funding for holidays, though we know a number of organisations who do; nor do we organise holidays. Rather our mission is to help disabled and older people lead independent lives by enhancing their ability to travel.

This we do by providing information about transport, accommodation, visitor attractions, activity holidays and respite care establishments, both in the UK and overseas, which enables people with all kinds of disability to holiday where possible in a mainstream environment.
