This will be a great resource for parent carers in the North East. Please help if you can, even by giving the post a share.

✨ We Need Your Help to Create a Welcoming SEND Family Hub ✨

We are so excited to be opening our new Family SEND Hub at Choice Wellbeing Service — a safe, supportive space for children with additional needs and the families who care for them.

While our funding covers the rent for this much-needed building, we now need your help to turn it into a warm, welcoming environment.

Right now, the rooms are empty — but with your support, they could soon be filled with:
🪑 Comfortable seating for families
🎨 Child-friendly and sensory-safe furniture
🧩 Spaces for workshops, support groups, and connection
🌿 Soft furnishings to create a calm, inviting atmosphere

For many of our families, walking into a new space can feel overwhelming. We want their first experience to be one of comfort, belonging, and understanding.

Every donation — no matter how small — helps us transform this building into a true community hub where families feel supported and children can thrive.

If you can’t donate, please share this post to help us reach more people.

Together, we can create something truly special. 💛

Love is certainly in the air at the moment. I have had two wedding related enquiries in the last few days. One for a wedding and one for a honeymoon.

I feel very humbled that you would choose me to help you with such a special moment in your life.

If anyone has any recommendations for wheelchair accessible wedding venues or hotels in Sicily please let me know in the comments.

We don't really celebrate Valentine's Day but I love a good soppy post. To the man I drag along on my crazy adventures, my reluctant travel companion and biggest supporter of my business, you may be a grumpy old man but you are our grumpy old man. Thank you for giving me the greatest gift, our little rock chick 🤘🏼

So if you celebrate or don't, today is all about love in all its forms 🌈

It's the small things that put a huge smile on my face. Thank you for my happy post ☺️

What has made you smile today?

I practice what I preach. Yes, I am my own best customer 🤣

What's your weakness that you probably spend too much money on?

I'm a big fan of in-person travel supplier events. Hearing from experts and being able to ask questions about accessibility is incredibly informative. I love being surprised by suppliers like and their wheelchair-accessible adaptations. Thanks to and for highlighting their world class tours and cruises and to all three supplies for hosting such an inspiring event.

There is honestly nothing better than a happy customer. The beaming smile on my face when I read reviews like this is what it's all about for me. Send me photos and drop me a WhatsApp while you are there, I'm invested in your holiday as much as you.

Thank you to everyone for your support and recommending me, the word is getting out and I am getting enquiries from you referring your friends.

I often get asked if I can book holidays for EVERYONE and the answer is, YES!

I can book everything, beach holidays, city breaks, tours, cruises and luxury.

I can also price match so I can get you that great online deal but with the extra personal service and advice.

A blast from the past. Backpacking solo around Australia in 2005/6. A place I often still dream about and want to visit again someday, just this time without sharing rooms with many strangers 🤣
