Megs Stay

Our Weekend of Adventure

Thank you so much for an absolutely brilliant holiday. I’ve seen charities that help with holidays before, and always thought it was for ‘poorly’ kids, we don’t see Meg like that, she’s a little person who happens to have a disability. But I’m so glad we went for it, it’s definitely just right for families like ours too. 

There was literally everything we needed to have a comfy, safe and stress free holiday. No faffing about asking friends to drive up with our hoist cause it won’t fit in the van at the same time as us! Everything has been thought of, even tiny things like a blender and a measuring jug. 

The caravan was beautiful, spotlessly clean and in a gorgeous quiet location. We enjoyed spending time chilling on site, and Meg loved the kids disco. We left her van where it was and explored the area walking and using the trams, so didn’t have to think about finding our way round and find places to park. 

People in the area are friendly and we found loads of accessible places and activities to do (the beach wheelchairs are fabulous) and Meg adored the Peter Rabbit experience, which even has a hoist!

Loads of long walks by the sea, in the wind, with Meg roaring with laughter, sticking her tongue out and flapping her hands with joy. We can’t say the word ‘Cleveleys’, we have to spell it, cause she grins every time she hears it and thinks we are going back now! 

Meg is fabulous, she’s no trouble at all, but with a disability things take longer, need more planning and often cost a lot more. But, the support from SAWU Foundation takes away so much of the extra stress, so we could just be a family, having a lovely break together and recharging our batteries. Which is exactly what we needed. Thank you so much.
