Daytrippers was founded in 2003 to help children with disabilities, life limiting or terminal illnesses enjoy amazing experiences that might otherwise not be available to them.
We do this by providing funding for group daytrips (minimum of eight children with disabilities) and organising Daytripper’s own larger scale events. To date Daytrippers has helped over 17,500 children enjoy some fantastic trips, including days to theme parks, the seaside, museums, theatres, wildlife parks as well as more unusual experiences such as specially organised scenic flights. In addition to the daytrips we have organised various unique events such as film premieres, Halloween parties and the UK’s largest pan-disability football tournament.
Our daytrips and events are not only about kids having some fun they are much more than that. They allow the children to experience new and exciting environments whilst making friends. We know from experience that this improves confidence and often has very positive effects on the child.
We work closely with other charities, schools, hospices, support groups and local authorities across the UK. Please feel free to contact us to discuss any trip that you have in mind as we are always happy to assist or make any suggestions.
