The Disaway trust is a registered charity that organises group holidays with physically disabled people, which has been in existence since 1981. The organisation is run entirely by a Committee of Volunteers and is supported by voluntary help and contributions. Our Disabled applicants we call Holidaymakers and Volunteer carers we call Helpers. The age range is between 16 and 80 and we try to have a mixed group of men and women of all ages on each holiday.
Disaway puts a holiday package together including visiting the actual venues (if felt necessary) to ensure suitability and accessibility throughout the holiday. We try to select interesting and stimulating venues both in this country and abroad. Each year we try to organise one holiday within the UK and one abroad. The size of the group is dependant on the destination but usually varies between 15 - 30 people on each holiday.
On each holiday there will be a number of committee members to assist the group. The holidaymaker is expected to pay the full costs of the holiday with the helper paying approximately half and Disaway fundraising the other half.
