Spiral Sussex Respite Breaks
Supported holidays for adults with learning disabilities — across the UK and Europe, with trained, caring staff every step of the way.
Welcome
Holidays that feel like holidays — for everyone
We're delighted you're thinking about joining us for a Spiral Sussex respite break! Our holidays are all about making memories, trying new things, exploring exciting places and enjoying time away with friendly faces.
Our trained staff provide round-the-clock care tailored to each person's needs — whether it's support with daily routines, mobility, personal care, medication, or simply someone nearby for a chat and a smile. With the practical bits taken care of, you can focus on the best part: relaxing, laughing and making friends.
We're a non-profit charity, not a holiday company. Every penny you pay goes straight back into delivering the best possible break — not into shareholders' pockets.
- Over 27 years of experience providing tailored breaks
- Fully trained & qualified staff and volunteers
- Flexible payment plans
- Perfect respite for parents, carers & guardians
