I am a firm believer that EVERYONE should be able to travel and see the world, no matter who you are, where you are from or what your situation is. My goal with this blog is to encourage everyone to travel and reap the rewards of the experience and education that only travel can provide. I was recently contacted by YMCA Escapes in Victoria whose aim is to help people with disabilities to be able to get out and travel. Basically, they offer holidays specifically designed with peoples’ special needs in mind. I absolutely love this idea, and I will encourage anyone who is trying to make peoples’ lives better through travel. I’ll let YMCA Escapes tell you more about what they do and how you can get involved: 

YMCA Escapes full of fun and open to everyone

YMCA Escapes is a program run by the not for profit charity YMCA Victoria.

YMCA Escapes is an inclusive and supportive holiday experience open to everyone in our community; including those with a disability.

Their staff and volunteers are deeply committed to ensuring everyone in our community has the same opportunities to take time out and enjoy all the benefits of a great holiday.

What makes YMCA Escapes different?

  • We understand each of our travellers have different needs and we are experienced to cater for those, whatever they may be.
  • The holidays promote independent living skills, social connection and inclusion with the wider community.
  • If our travelers would like friends, family or personal support workers to holiday them, that is ok. No one misses out at YMCA Escapes.

YMCA Escapes is about fun, life changing moments and connecting with like-minded people. Through visiting different environments and cultures, YMCA Escapes experiences life from a different perspective.  Quality is also a priority. The Quality Assurance Team works tirelessly to deliver the best experience for all our travelers.

Life is short, get the support you need and travel with YMCA Escapes. For more information go to the YMCA Escapes website.
