These are just a small number of the comments we receive from our
travellers:
“Nothing is too much trouble for the group leader, carers, drivers and those
that are not as fit as others are well looked after, treated with great dignity and
respect. The great thing is the friendship and togetherness that is generated
by Angela and her support team. This is our 5th Jumbulance holiday and it
does exactly what it says on the tin “makes travel possible” . Without this
wonderful facility my wife Rosemary wouldn’t be able to get away.
VIP and Carer, West Yorkshire Group, September 2008
“I had a lovely time, made lots of nice friends who were all lovely, it was nice
to see old friends and I was sad to come home. I enjoyed mucking around
and having a balloon hat and wearing the Tiara – George was very helpful and
kind, I had lots of fun”

I have found this trip exciting and enjoyable and hope it is the first of many I
make with the West Yorkshire Group.
