The mum of a boy with autism and ADHD is angry and "extremely stressed" over Center Parcs' decision to close for the Queen's funeral bank holiday, as their holiday was due to start on the same day.
Gemma Vickerage, who is also autistic and has ADHD, said she will probably have to cancel the family's four-night stay at Center Parcs. Both she and her son need routine, and the upheaval of having to change their trip is too much for them to cope with.
Gemma's son Artie, six, survived cancer in 2019 and has not been to school for nine months because Gemma, 39 and her husband Paul, 42, have struggled to find him a place that can meet his needs. Their biannual trips to Center Parcs are the family's "moments of joy", in what's been a difficult few years.
