WARRINGTON Disability Partnership has unveiled plans to purchase a new fully accessible holiday home in Pensarn that is exclusively available for disabled people and their families.

A series of fundraising events are being planned for 2024 to help raise the £68,000 needed to buy a home equipped with the latest technology .

The fundraising will start with a March Hare Ball, hosted in partnership with law firm Aaron & Partners, on March 1.

The static caravan would be fully accessible and come equipped with a range of special features to enable families to enjoy time away together.

In 2007, the charity purchased its first new caravan and based it in Pensarn.

Since that time, in excess of 2,500 holiday makers have been able to enjoy a total of more than 800 stays and short-term breaks in the area.

But the current caravan is in need of replacement to ensure guests can continue to enjoy a comfortable stay and benefit from the latest technology designed specifically to support disabled people or those living with long-term health conditions. 

Dave Thompson MBE, chief executive of Warrington Disability Partnership, said: "We've set ourselves some bold ambitions for 2024 as a charity and one of those is acquiring a brand-new accessible holiday home that we know will bring happiness to so many people across our region.

"Going on holiday is something a lot of people take for granted, but for some disabled people, it's often something that they avoid entirely because of issues around accessibility and affordability.

"Our current caravan has been a holiday lifeline for thousands of people, but it is time for us to take the experience to the next level with a new static home that has state-of-the-art facilities. 

"We rely heavily on the support of our partners and the community to do all of the amazing things we've been doing since 1991, so we're really hoping we can rally enough support to make this happen.

"Our charity ball with Aaron & Partners will be one of the biggest events we've ever hosted and we're hoping people will get behind us and help make 2024 a memorable year where we can continue to make a real difference.”

Tables for the March Hare Ball are priced at £990 for up to 12 guests, or £90 per person.
