The Travel Company Edinburgh is proud to be working with Poppyscotland on their new Break Away service, providing older veterans with the chance to enjoy a much-needed break.  Breaks are available for veterans aged 65 and over and are aimed at those who would benefit from a holiday, whether it’s coping with ill health or bereavement, or for those who just need a change of scene and some new company.  The service will run throughout the year and breaks can be enjoyed anywhere in the UK. For some, the break might be a six-day escape to the Highlands, taking in the ‘Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond’, the mountaintops of the Cairngorms and the beautiful valleys of the rivers Spey and Dee. Others might prefer a trip to South Devon’s glorious coast for a relaxing stay in Torquay. Here they can enjoy sandy beaches, a lively waterfront and the chance to take an excursion on the famous Flying Scotsman. These are just a couple of the options available.
 
The Travel Company Edinburgh will work with each individual to design the perfect break to suit their needs, with many packages providing wheelchair-accessible coaches, hotels and activities.  Respite breaks are also available for those with more complex personal care needs such as a severe physical disability or medical condition. 
 
Please note that all applications are assessed on a basis of welfare need and means, and you must be 65 or over.
 
If you are a veteran living in Scotland and aged 65 or over, or if you know of someone who might be eligible, you could apply for an exciting Break Away.  For more information about the service please visit the Poppyscotland website, call Poppyscotland on 0131 550 1557 or email [email protected].
 
The Break Away service has been made possible by the Unforgotten Forces consortium, a partnership of 15 organisations, led by Poppyscotland, that are working to improve the lives and wellbeing of older veterans throughout Scotland.  If you would like to know more about the broader services of the Unforgotten Forces consortium, please do call Poppyscotland on the number above or visit the Unforgotten Forces website.
