Why go on a Holiday?

People living with a disability are often at higher risk of experiencing social isolation.

Supported Holidays can be designed to help people overcome social isolation and can provide a wide range of benefits. Holidays can help people achieve many of the goals we all strive for in life, including increased independence, being more confident to have new experiences and participate in the community.

Here are some of the general benefits of a holiday adventure…

Making new friends

Adventures provide an opportunity to connect with others, build new friendships, learn new skills together and share an experience to remember. Making memories together can help people form deeper bonds and give people stories to share and things to reminisce about.

Developing independence

Sometimes just being away from familiar places and having to do things a little outside the normal routine fosters greater independence.

Exposure to different environments, locations and cultures

Every participant benefits from experiencing different ways of living around the country and around the world – something that broadens everyone’s view on life and the world we live in.

Wellbeing

Spending time in the natural environment is good for wellbeing and stress relief – sometimes much needed!

Physical activity

Holiday adventures often include physical activities such as walking, hiking, swimming and sports, resulting in improved fitness and a well-deserved sense of achievement
