THE JERSEY ACROSS GROUP takes disabled or disadvantaged Jersey people (our VIPs), who are unable to travel independently, on a week’s holiday to Lourdes in the Pyrenees, in the spring of each year. Each VIP needs a voluntary helper because of additional and often complex care needs, and without this help they would never be able to take a vacation. We also take nurses and a priest. The whole group will comprise 45 people, of any religion or none, and we stay in shared rooms in a beautiful hostel near Lourdes. During the holiday we attend some spectacular religious services, as well as visiting beautiful scenic areas with mountains and waterfalls. It currently costs over £900 for each traveller, and our VIPs travel free. Helpers will contribute towards their costs, but we raise the rest of the money from donations and fundraising events throughout the year.
