Who
are we ?
We are a not for profit company, meaning that all monies
left over after the running costs of the holidays are deducted are put
back into the holidays to offer free and funded places to those who need
them. This also helps to keep the cost of the holiday affordable. We are
dedicated to providing tailored supported holidays to people with support
needs and we have experience
in providing social care and supported holidays to people with learning
and physical disabilities since 1996.
What do we do ?
We offer
a range of themed educational holidays (see holidays)
where our holiday makers can get involved with the fun or just sit back
and relax watching the rest of the group partake in the set activities;
, Our
experienced staff team offer a comprehensive 24 hour support and personal
care package to all our holiday makers.

care you receive at home from your families and carers.

experience. All our staff are continually trained
to a high standard and have experience working within the care industry.
You will be assigned a key person on your arrival at the holiday accommodation
and that person will dedicate them selves to seeing to your care and support
needs. Your key person will have knowledge of your likes and dislikes,
which will be obtained prior to your holiday (see
home assessment visits). Your key person will support you on our planned
excursions, and will be happy to assist you with any other requests you
may have.
What’s
included in the price?
The prices stated are for a standard itinerary holiday with two or three
holidaymakers to one staff ratio for personal care and 24-hour support
needs. Those needing one to one personal care or those who would need
one to one support whilst out on activity would pay a supplement. Examples
of one to one would be somebody who needed to use a wheel chair when out
on activities, or someone who may take it upon them self to leave the
group. Somebody who may become challenging would need one to one support
and you should state this when booking to save confusion later. A Papillon
home assessment manager may deem it necessary to designate a holiday maker
as needing one to one support once all the information has been gathered
on home visit. (see home assessment visit).

please contact us and we will be happy to answer any questions.

Our holidays are designed for adults who need personal care and support
whilst participating in activities. Our holidays are designed to promote
independence whilst offering all the support the holidaymaker needs, whether
it be personal care or physical assistance. Our usual clients would have

of independence, although we can offer a one to one service for those
who may need it.
