for adults with learning disabilities
What is a Chrysalis Holiday?
Chrysalis Holidays offer opportunities for adults with learning
disabilities, both young and old, to participate in indoor and
outdoor activities that are both fun and educational. Established
in 1991 we offer a wide range of holidays throughout the year.
Based on a variety of themes, there is something for all tastes
and abilities. Our themed weeks include art and crafts, music,
wildlife & nature, adventure, farming, transport, summer,Christmas
and sensory exploration - see enclosed for current programme.
All activities are led by qualified leaders to ensure a fun
experience in a safe environment. Each week has a full itinerary
for both daytime and evening. Individual needs and interests
are always considered and people are encouraged to do as much
as possible for themselves making the holiday an active and
not a passive experience.
Our Mission
Our mission, regardless of ability, disability, social and
economic status is to enable people to have access to and participate
in a broad spectrum of educational and leisure opportunities.
We strive to achieve a valued, instructive and unrestricted
experience, incorporating personal development, self advocacy
and social education.

Visits If you are newcomers
to Chrysalis Holidays we will visit you at home prior
to your holiday as part of our comprehensive care package
to discuss your personal requirements. This enables us
to introduce ourselves, explain the holiday programme
and discuss any special needs. After discussions, either
party has the option to cancel or change to another holiday,
without loss of the booking deposit, should the holiday
chosen be considered not suitable. Home visits are a unique
part of our service and are offered at no extra charge
If distance makes a home visit too difficult, you will
be asked to provide us with a pen profile giving us as
much information as possible about level of care needed.

Care & Keyworkers
Our experienced staff team are on hand 24 hours a day to assist
with any eventuality and lead the programmes. Our holidays for
adults with learning disabilities offer one-to-three customer
care as an absolute minimum. This is a service second to none
in our field, because we recognise along with you, the importance
of a high level of care during residential breaks. This enables
us to support people both physically and emotionally. We also
offer one-to-one customer care for those who need a higher level
of support and Special Care Sensory Breaks for those with more
complex needs. You may also choose the size of group from smaller
Choice Holidays (4 people) to larger groups (usually 12 people).

Where do the holidays take place?
Mostly at 'Bryn Arfor,' Amlwch our own 8 bedroomed Country Guest
House, on the north coast of Anglesey, North Wales. Acquired
in spring 2000, we have adapted the property for our needs,
giving us the best of both worlds freedom and informality and
facilities of a hotel. It is set in beautiful scenery overlooking
Bull Bay. Each year we also run a few holidays in other locations:
the Lake District, Ireland, Blackpool and occasionally abroad.
