RAF Disabled Holiday Trust

Providing accessible holidays for disabled RAF Family and their dependents

The RAF Benevolent Fund is proud to support the RAF Disabled Holiday Trust, as part of our welfare services for members of the RAF Family. The RAF Disabled Holiday Trust believes everybody deserves a stress-free holiday, free from the worry of whether accommodation is accessible or not. 

We have a wonderful selection of places to stay, all over the UK, which meet the needs of whole families or accompanying carers with a wide range of leisure activities and pursuits. 

To meet its aims, the Trust has invested in the Holiday Property Bond and currently offers over eighty holidays each year in the UK. Each accommodation unit has been adapted extensively to make it suitable for disabled people, particularly those in wheelchairs, with wide door widths and level access showers. 

The apartments are fully equipped and include linen and maid service. For attendees requiring additional specialist mobility equipment such as recliner chairs, hoists, and hospital beds during their holiday we can assist with sourcing items locally for short term rental. 

Holiday costs including travel, insurance, food, drink, specialist mobility equipment rental and other incidentals are the responsibility of the attendees.

About the Trust

Like everyone else, disabled people need a holiday. That can be more easily said than done since they need specially adapted accommodation within normal holiday surroundings.

The aim of the Trust, the first of its kind, is to make it possible for current and former RAF personnel and their dependents with a severe disability to take holidays on equal terms with non-disabled people.

An important part of this aim is to enable families, immediate family members and carers (if required) to holiday together in a suitably adapted property integrated with the rest of the community.
