Beyond the thrill of the theme parks, we support young children with life-limiting conditions. The children we invite to join Destination Florida face daily medical challenges. We are supported by a mobile hospital of 110 professionals, including doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, and adult helpers accompanying each trip.
Our adult helpers are supported by medical professionals, forming six teams that afford each child personalised one-to-one support. We enrich their lives with a much needed and supportive environment under the watchful eye of our medical staff and helpers.
Our ‘no barriers’ approach signifies that a child’s background or family circumstances do not impede their participation. Our commitment extends to supporting children with complex illnesses that require intensive medical management. We organise round-the-clock expert medical support to facilitate their participation.
Recognising that caring for children with life-limiting conditions is often a full-time responsibility for parents and guardians, only the children accompany us to Florida. This grants caregivers eight invaluable days of respite, assured that their child will receive professional medical care throughout.
