For the past 60 years, the charity Revitalise has provided specialist respite holidays in the UK for people with severe disabilities to stay by themselves or with their families or carers. But the charity is closing these services, citing insurmountable financial challenges.
The charity’s two hotels, in Chigwell, Essex, and Southport, Merseyside, were unique as they were able to provide 24-hour care and support to guests during their stays. The testimony of people who had holidayed with Revitalise clearly shows how beneficial the service was.
