Holidaymakers<br />
We accept applications from people with<br />
a dual-sensory impairment. We are also<br />
occasionally able to offer a holiday place<br />
to people with a single-sensory impairment<br />
with an additional disability. However,<br />
our holidays are increasingly popular and<br />
people with a dual-sensory impairment will<br />
have priority. In addition, within the adult<br />
range (19 years and over), we will prioritise<br />
applications from people living at home<br />
with their families.<br />
Please read the guidelines before<br />
completing the application form and<br />
contact the <strong>Holidays</strong> Team if you have<br />
any questions at this stage. Please then<br />
return your application form by Friday<br />
15 February 2013. The first round of<br />
allocations will take place shortly afterwards.<br />
If you receive the application pack after<br />
this date, it is still worth applying and<br />
you will join our waiting list. We do still<br />
offer places after the first round of<br />
allocations and we have emergency places<br />
available at shorter notice. Although we<br />
try to allocate holidaymakers one of<br />
their first three holiday choices, this is<br />
not always possible and an alternative<br />
venue may be offered.<br />
Volunteers<br />
For those interested in volunteering on<br />
a <strong>Sense</strong> holiday, please see the enclosed<br />
volunteering details or contact the<br />
<strong>Holidays</strong> Team for further information on<br />
how to apply. To stand the best chance<br />
of being accepted, please return your<br />
completed application by the end of<br />
March 2013. However, we continue to<br />
accept applications and allocate volunteers<br />
throughout the summer, so it is always<br />
worth applying at any stage.<br />
<strong>Sense</strong><br />
<strong>Sense</strong> is a national charity that supports<br />
and campaigns for children and adults<br />
who are deafblind. We provide tailored<br />
support, advice and information as well<br />
as specialist services to all deafblind<br />
people, their families, carers and the<br />
professionals who work with them.<br />
In addition, we support people who<br />
have a single-sensory impairment with<br />
additional needs.<br />
