Jumbulance "I’m getting in touch from Jumbulance to let you know about an upcoming accessible trip to Ypres which may be of interest to some of your members.
Jumbulance is a charity that provides accessible travel for people who may find travelling more difficult due to disability, health conditions or mobility needs. Our specially adapted Jumbulance vehicles allow people to travel comfortably alongside other travellers and volunteers. Travellers can travel in their wheelchair, a stretcher bed for longer journeys or a fixed seat and all seats are accessible by a lift.
We have some places available on our trip to Ypres, Belgium 1-4 March 2027, departing from Pease Pottage Services, and thought it might be something your members would be interested to hear about.
The trip is open to a mix of travellers of different ages and abilities, and people are very welcome to get in touch with us to have a chat about their individual support or accessibility needs. Joining us on the trip will be 2 expert guides, including Jeremy Banning a military historian and researcher specialising in the First World War.
If this would be of interest to your members, we can send further information and a flyer. Kind regards,
Sarah "
