About SEND Escapes

SEND Escapes was created with one simple belief at its heart: everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy holidays, events, and activities that feel safe, welcoming, and genuinely accessible. For families, carers, friends, and SEND individuals themselves, planning time away or even a simple day out can often feel stressful and uncertain. Information is usually vague, accessibility is unclear, and many experiences labelled as “inclusive” don’t always reflect the reality on the ground. The result is anxiety, disappointment, or missed opportunities altogether. SEND Escapes exists to change that. We are a discovery platform designed to help people find holidays, accommodation, events, and activities that are suitable for children and adults with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Our focus is on clarity, understanding, and trust, helping users make informed decisions based on real needs rather than assumptions.

Built on Real Understanding

We recognise that SEND is not one-size-fits-all. What feels manageable and enjoyable for one person may be overwhelming or inaccessible for another. Sensory sensitivities, mobility requirements, communication needs, routines, and support levels all play a role in whether an experience truly works. That’s why SEND Escapes is built around meaningful detail. We aim to highlight considerations such as sensory environments, physical accessibility, flexibility, quiet spaces, and inclusive attitudes, so individuals and families can decide for themselves what feels right. Our role is not to tell you where you should go, but to give you the confidence and reassurance to choose.

For Families, Friends, and SEND Individuals

SEND Escapes is for parents planning a break their child can genuinely enjoy, for SEND adults seeking independence and new experiences, and for carers, friends, and support workers who want to plan inclusive time together without fear of the unknown. We believe SEND individuals should be empowered to explore the world in ways that work for them, whether that means a peaceful retreat, a structured activity, or an exciting adventure with the right support in place. Enjoyment should never come at the cost of wellbeing, and accessibility should never be an afterthought.

Our Mission

Our mission at SEND Escapes is to make holidays, events, and activities more accessible, transparent, and enjoyable for SEND individuals and the people who support them. We strive to reduce the stress and uncertainty that often comes with planning, to support confident decision-making through clear and honest information, and to encourage a more inclusive approach across the travel, leisure, and events industries. Above all, we want to help create opportunities for joy, rest, connection, and independence, without compromise.

Looking Forward

SEND Escapes is growing with the community it serves. As we expand, our focus remains on listening, learning, and evolving alongside the needs of SEND individuals and their families. We are committed to building a platform shaped by real experiences, shared knowledge, and a genuine desire to improve access to meaningful experiences for all. Whether you are planning your first SEND-friendly holiday, searching for activities closer to home, or simply exploring what’s possible, SEND Escapes is here to support you every step of the way. You are not asking for too much. You are simply asking for experiences that work — and that’s exactly what we’re here to help you find.
