Adapted Breaks
About Adapted Breaks
At Time Away we recognise that not all families are able to access standard holiday let properties. Many of the families we aim to support require modifications and adaptations to enable them to enjoy a break away from home.
We are now offering to provide breaks in adapted properties to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy some Time Away. These breaks will operate slightly differently from our regular offering. Because the type of properties suitable are specialist and therefore less common, we are less likely to receive donations in these type of properties. Time Away will directly fund these breaks and as such we will make case by case assessments of each application to determine how we allocate them.
To qualify:
- You care for a child under 18 years old
- The qualifying child receives higher rate DLA, PIP or Child Disability Payment (Scotland)
- You will take the break with the qualifying child, as a family (plus support carers if required)
After you submit an application for our adapted breaks, it will be considered by the board of trustees and you will be notified once a decision has been made. The assessment will be based on your needs, the type of properties we have available, the funds we have available at any one time and the number of applications we have received.
You are invited to complete our application form below (opens in new window). Please ensure all answers are honest and accurate. Please only apply for our adapted breaks if you are not able to access breaks which are not part of our standard offering. All information is provided subject to our privacy policy.
Examples of properties we work with
Time Away are not limited to any particular properties and we will work with all owners of specialist holiday properties to ensure our users can enjoy the best possible experience. Below are some examples of the types of properties we can work with and some of the features our families can expect.
The Big Tin Barn
The Big Tin Barn is an old cattle barn which has been developed into a beautiful, spacious accessible holiday property. A series of instruction videos ensure you can make the most of all of the equipment available to ensure you make the most of your break.
Schoolhouse Fenwick
Schoolhouse Fenwick has been fully renovated with accessibility in mind. The website features an interactive 3D map to enable you to plan your visit, ensuring there’s no unwelcome surprises on your arrival.
Sungate Bath
Sungate has been designed by a family with personal experience to ensure their property is as autism friendly as possible. From an internal swing and calming interiors to lockable appliances and cupboards, there’s plenty to help you make the most of some Time Away.
