NEW ALBUM OUT
Please note this album is not all us it is to raise money.
Welcome to Enable Holidays Enable Holidays are held aboard the Reach Out Projects canal boat fleet based at Nash Mills, near Hemel Hempstead (see map). Reach Out Projects and the St Albans Diocesan Youth Service jointly organise the Enable Holiday Programme which has now been running for over 15 years.
Taking people who have special needs or physical disabilities out of their usual environment can make such a difference and the outcomes that come from a trip are so rewarding. It gives individuals inspirational and positive experiences, including team building tasks, relationship building, self-development, education and inspiration.
Our holidays are aboard one of our two wide beam boats – Close Shave or Sheldrake II which are fully accessible (see plans). Both have wheelchair access throughout, including a lift to the back deck for those who wish to try their hand at steering. The trip is likely to include a visit to the cinema, swimming at a leisure centre and a barbecue as well as shopping, cooking, working locks, steering the boat and many other activities involved in a group living and working on a canal boat for a week. Enable Holidays normally take place during the May half-term, the summer holidays and October half-term.
The Enable Holidays are aimed at young people aged 11 to 18 years who have special needs, physical disabilities or who are disadvantaged. So that we can be sure they will have a great time, each young person is assessed to ensure that we can provide the right support for their needs. Most participants come from Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire, although you do not have to live within either of these counties to join an Enable Holiday.
