This year there’s more choice than ever with a great mix of new holidays and old favourites, and over 90% of our holiday prices are the same as last year’s. New for 2015 is our holiday to Finland and Estonia, and back by popular demand is a holiday to Austria for a “Sound Of Music” themed break exploring Salzburg and the locations from the film. We’re also going to Cadbury World, exploring the country lanes and cream teas of Devon, and further afield we’re taking a journey to visit the pilgrimage destination of Lourdes in the Pyrenees. Closer to home we’re returning to Blackpool and Great Yarmouth; always popular with their traditional seaside fun and attractions. Great Yarmouth also makes an excellent base for exploring Norfolk and the surrounding area, with supported holidays for animal lovers, a trip to the Thursford Christmas Spectacular, or a pizza-party just some of the many breaks on offer there this year. Our other favourite destination is France. The farmhouse is a real gem, set in the middle of the French countryside but close to a host of things to see and do. With a great range of holidays based here, including our own mini festival, come along to enjoy the heated pool and crazy golf, games room, garden and outdoor dining area. In the cooler months there’s a comfy lounge with a log fire to keep you warm, and whatever time of year you go there’s always plenty of home cooked food, a trip to the coast or a local auberge for a hearty lunch. We want to support you appropriately during your holiday so that you have a really good, and safe, time. You, or the person booking your holiday for you, must tell us about all of your support needs at the time of booking – if we don’t know your full needs we can’t be on hand to support you. Just call us on 01245 260 330 and we’ll talk you through our support process as we’re here to help at every step of the way. Wherever you want to go in 2015 give us a call.

If you use a catheter or require assistance with stoma care you must tell us before you book as we will be unable to assist without prior knowledge.

We are happy to discuss your requirements and to work with you to put the right support in place, either from our courier team or from health professionals.

We will refer to the primary care provider if a problem occurs. It is essential that we know about any issues at the time of booking. You must read our Terms and Conditions relating to support and support charges before booking as paying your deposit will create a contract between us.

The only exception is when travelling on continental holidays where we have requested that you pack an overnight bag. We reserve the right to refuse to take, or charge extra for, luggage that exceeds these dimensions. If your holiday includes a flight please call us to check baggage allowances. Packing the right clothes It is important to pack for the weather at your destination. If you are unsure of what conditions to expect please contact us before departure. If there is a pool at your destination you will need to pack swim wear and a swim towel.

Towels and toiletries You should pack a toothbrush, toothpaste, flannel, soap/shower gel and shampoo. Gents should pack either electric shavers with an appropriate charging plug for their destination or shaving foam and new razors. You do not need to pack a towel for hotel stays, or if you are visiting our Guest House in Yarmouth, or our farmhouse in France as we supply towels at these destinations. You will need to pack a towel for breaks to all other locations apart from hotels. calling or texting so as not to disturb our drivers. It may also be difficult to charge equipment at some destinations. Sanitary Towels and continence Please ensure you have sufficient sanitary and/ or continence supplies for your holiday. If you need a large quantity of continence supplies we advise that you pack it in a separate bag that can be disposed of at the end of the break. Please remember to pack any bed or seating protection that you would normally use. Spending money All of our breaks are full board - please see the relevant description of our Full Board package on the previous page. Radios, CD players and mobile phones Many customers choose to travel with mobile phones and music equipment. Whilst we are able to accept i-Pods and phones, larger items cannot be accommodated in luggage. We also ask that you are considerate of your fellow travellers and do not disturb others with your music or conversation. You may be asked to sit to the rear of the bus if you are often Cameras and other valuables Many customers bring a camera on holiday. We are happy for people to bring their own camera and take photos, but can accept no responsibility for its safe-keeping or that of any other valuables. Please note that we always send holiday photos to everyone at the end of each trip. You will need spending money for all drinks and snacks and you will have to pay for all entrance fees not included in your holiday package. We always recommend a minimum amount for each break, to cover basics and anticipated extra entrance fees, in our holiday itinerary sent prior to travel. However if you wish to buy souvenirs and gifts you will need to bring more. Bear in mind that a cola or coffee on the continent could cost you €5 each and you’d probably want at least four drinks each day. 5 T: 01245 260 330 E: [email protected] Support Support is at the heart of what we do. It sets us apart from other holiday companies and is the reason you travel with us. We can’t stress enough the importance of disclosing to us your full support needs when you book your supported holiday. Each year we have a number of customers who try to travel with us without telling us about their full needs until they are about to depart, even though we ask in advance and work through a support profile with each individual customer. Often this results in disappointment as they are unable to travel because we will not have put in place the support they require. This is easily avoided - all you, or the person booking your holiday, has to do is be honest with us. We can only provide the support you require if you tell us your full support needs before you travel. We will always tell you about extra support charges before you confirm your booking. A basic level of support is included and you must not withold information about your support needs because you want to avoid paying additional support charges. In fact you are likely to be charged a lot more if we have to arrange expensive last minute support and invoice you after your holiday, or you could lose the money you’ve paid for your holiday if we are unable to take you with us. Basic Support included 24 hour support from experienced couriers is included in the base price of your holiday for basic needs such as help with water temperatures for baths and showers, assistance with hair washing and shaving, sorting (but not laundering) clothing. Please see below for specific support information and refer to our full Terms and Conditions for more information about support and your obligation to disclose your full support needs before booking and travelling. Support is provided by HELP Personal Assistant Services (CQC Reg No: RGP1-1427874143). Support Profiles We ask all customers to complete a support profile detailing their full and exact support needs with daily, living, medication, medical and other conditions, mobility, communication, continence and dietary requirements. It is your responsibility to provide us with accurate up-to-date information for each holiday you book. As our customers’ needs change over time we do not usually “carry-over” support profiles from one holiday to the next so you may be required to complete a profile for each hoiday you book. We take no responsibility for costs and consequences arising from any undisclosed support requirements. Full disclosure, and your responsibilities Please contact us to discuss your support requirements to ensure we deliver the appropriate accommodation and support for your needs. It is essential that we are made fully aware of your support needs as failing to do so results in understaffing and restricts the activities you can take part in. We reserve the right to refuse travel and to curtail trips if support needs have not been fully disclosed on your booking forms and support profile. The full costs of curtailment in these circumstances will be charged to the customer. Night time waking We do not provide waking night cover unless this has been requested and paid for at the time of booking. Wandering Please advise us at time of booking if your safety may be compromised by wandering away from the group, so that we can put appropriate measures and staffing in place. It is very important to tell us if you may sleep walk or wander at night. 6 Continence If you have any problems with continence, or suffer from night-time incontinence, please advise us at time of booking so that we can ensure the right protection is in place for your comfort. Please ensure you travel with appropriate supplies for your needs. Undisclosed or excessive incontinence that results in damage to bedding or furnishings will be charged. Challenging behaviour Customers who display challenging behaviour should make us aware of their individual communication needs to ensure we can respond appropriately in all situations whilst on holiday. Please note that our holidays are not suitable for people who display physically challenging behaviour. Sleep Apnoea and snoring Please advise us at time of booking if you need to use Sleep Apnoea equipment or if you are a heavy snorer. These conditions can disturb other customers and you may need to book a single room. Socialising Making friends and being part of a group is an important part of the holiday. If you have difficulties taking part in group activities, are uncomfortable in noisy or busy social groups, or present challenging behaviour in group situations, please advise us so we can offer you appropriate support. Food and drink Please advise us of any dietary requirements at time of booking and in your customer support profile. Please also advise us of any recommendations relating to the consumption of alcohol. One-to-one support Individuals with high needs can be accommodated on most holidays with a one-to-one courier. This increases the cost of the holiday to cover the costs of the personal courier.

Our Full Board holidays include breakfast, a light lunch plus an evening meal. We adopt a flexible approach to meals and like to serve whatever is appropriate according to our location, the weather and the day’s activities. Meals are home cooked or taken in hotels, restaurants and cafes. For example, some days we will have a continental breakfast and on others something cooked, lunch could be a picnic or a light meal in a cafe or auberge. Evening meals range from a home cooked supper to a BBQ or buffet, or where appropriate could be a meal in a pub or restaurant of our choice. Early morning tea or coffee, drinks with breakfast and water or squash with meals are inlcuded. All other drinks must be paid for by the customer. Customers can purchase snacks, sweets and ice creams at their own expense. 3. SUPPORT Please contact us to discuss your support requirements for any daily, medical, dietary, mobility and communication support not covered in Section 2. It is essential that we are made fully aware of your support needs as failing to do so may result in understaffing and so restrict the activities in which you are able to take part. Additionally, we reserve the right to refuse travel where support needs have not been fully disclosed on our booking form and in this circumstance you waive all and any right to refund of monies paid. All supplements are payable in advance. All costs incurred as a result of laundering soiled and/or wet clothing and linen will be invoiced at the end of the holiday. Costs incurred through non-disclosure of support needs, inappropriate packing, excess baggage or failure to supply all required medication and personal hygiene products will be invoiced at the end of the holiday.

Please note that in the event of a medical emergency we will access services available locally and we do not provide medical assistance. All customers must travel with a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for European holidays outside the UK. Please note that whilst a EHIC covers most urgent medical costs this varies from country to country and some costs are likely to be incurred. 3b. CONTINENCE You must tell us if you have issues with continence so that we can make adequate provision during the day and night. You should supply your own continence products, ensuring that you bring enough to last for the duration of your holiday including those days spent travelling to and from your destination. We reserve the right to charge for laundering wet or soiled linen and clothing, and for cleaning of furniture and vehicle seats. 4. DIETARY REQUIREMENTS Please inform us in advance if you have a food allergy or intolerance, or special dietary requirements to ensure that we can cater for you.

If you require us to hold your medication please state this clearly on the booking form. We DO NOT accept medication in any other format. 10. INSURANCE You must buy appropriate travel insurance for your destination, including the UK, to come on a Breakaway holiday. Your travel insurance must be valid for the entire duration of your holiday including the return date. We will need the name of your insurer, your policy number and your insurer’s 24 hour help line number before you travel with us. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have adequate travel insurance cover for your personal belongings and for cancellation, curtailment and medical emergencies including treatment and repatriation. 11. BALANCE PAYMENTS The balance of your holiday cost is due no later than 60 days before departure (see Section 1). Please make cheques payable to Breakaway Ltd. A full itinerary will be sent to you approximately one week before departure. We reserve the right to charge a fee of up to £100 for late payments. 12. DIRECT PAYMENTS We are able to accept payments under the Direct Payments and Individual Budget schemes. Please speak to your social worker or primary care provider for advice. 13. DEPARTURE AND RETURN Prices include pick up from, and return to, designated meeting points which will be confirmed on your itinerary.

Some departure and return dates are subject to flight availability and may vary by up to 24 hours from those stated. 14. TRAVEL ASSISTANCE & CHAPERONES Customers who wish to specify male or female drivers or additional chaperones as part of our door-to-door upgrade service must request this at the time of booking. A charge will be made for this service. 15. PASSPORTS It is your responsibility to ensure you have valid travel permits, documents and passports with you at the time of departure. For holidays in the USA please speak to us about visa and passport requirements. Your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your holiday and for 30 days after the return date. If you are unable to provide a valid passport at the time of departure you will not be able to travel with us but will still be liable for the full cost of your holiday and the full cost of any pre-booked pickups. We are unable to provide Breakaway Supported Holidays 2015 T: 01245 260 330 refunds in these cases. 16. CANCELLATION In the event of cancellation for any reason the following nonrefundable payments are due: cancellation more than 90 days before the start of the holiday - deposit only; cancellation between 90 and 60 days before the start of the holiday - 50% of the full holiday cost; cancellation between 60 and 30 days before the start of the holiday - 75% of the full holiday cost; cancellation less than 30 days before the start of the holiday - 100% of the full holiday cost. Cancellations are only accepted in writing and will be deemed as accepted on the date they arrive in the office by post, or the date acknowledged by Breakaway if submitted by email. Please note that payments made in respect of holidays that are cancelled for any reason are not transferrable to alternative holidays in any circumstances. 17. PACKING AND LUGGAGE Please read the information at the front of our brochure relating to packing, luggage and excess charges. It is essential that you travel with appropriate types and quantities of clothing, footwear, outdoor wear, toiletries, medication and personal/grooming items (including towels where specified) and face cloths for your holiday. There may be additional luggage restrictions for flights so please check with us before travelling. IMPORTANT: LUGGAGE IS LIMITED TO ONE MEDIUM BAG PER CUSTOMER PLUS ONE OVERNIGHT BAG WHERE SPECIFIED. 18. FINANCIAL SECURITY Breakaway Holidays & Weekends Ltd is part of a financial failure protection scheme which insures the initial deposit and subsequently the balance of all monies paid to us, including repatriation if required, arising from the cancellation or curtailment of your travel arrangements due to the insolvency of Breakaway Holidays & Weekends Ltd. This insurance is not travel insurance or an equivalent policy. 19. HELP AND INFORMATION Our aim is to ensure that you have a holiday that meets your support needs without compromising the needs, health and safety of our other customers or our staff team. If you disclose your full support needs before booking we will advise you on the costs of meeting those needs and be able to put in place suitable provision for you. Please do not withhold support information as a means of avoiding additional support costs as this has a detrimental effect on you, us and our other customers and the need to arrange unplanned support during a holiday is likely to result in excess charges that are higher than those which are pre-booked. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about our Terms and Conditions of Booking and Travel. Payment of the deposit for your holiday forms a binding contract and acknowledges your agreement to, and acceptance of, all Terms and Conditions of Booking and Travel including all additional charges that may be incurred. We’re here to help and to answer your questions.
