we were thinking the isle of wight, so its not to far to travel, but somewhere diferent.
the clients do have choice in this holiday, they would like to go to isle of wight, but obviously we need to make sure the accomodation is suitable for all users, weve have many holiday before, its a case of finding places they having been.
oh yes, and Ghetto Granny – you are just the biggest looser going, and actually, there spelling is much better than yours, get a life! if any one needs to go to an island and be bombed its low lifes like yourself!

I took a group of teenagers with disabilities to a Joseph Arnatt centre in Swanage some years ago. We had a great time and accessed a wide range of activities from archery to sea canoeing to orienteering, trampolining and grass skiing etc.
Two of us (staff) visited, prior to our stay, for a leaders weekend where we could trial all the activities and plan the program for our groups specific needs.
You need to ask the people you are taking away where they want to go. It’s their holiday and they should have a say in it.
Maybe somewhere that’s relaxing, lots of nature and scenery, I’ve heard that Guernsey or Jersey, two small islands, very calm and all your worries melt away.
Hope it helps a bit (:
I used to work with adults with learning disabilities and last year took 2 clients 2 Butlins in Minehead for 4 nights. They really enjoyed themself and it was handy because we got our breakfast and dinner included. We didnt just stay on the site, we went for walks and explored the local areas and in the evening went to the on-site pub or walked to the beach.
