Full service description:

Threshold Short Breaks are not provided in a residential building base, as is often the case. Breaks are arranged for small, medium, and even large groups (where appropriate) to destinations such as Craig Tara Holiday Park in Ayr, hotel accommodation in Blackpool or even foreign destinations such as Salou, Benidorm, Tenerife and even Florida. Our Short Breaks have proven very successful, resulting in a large demand for this service. Threshold has built a great deal of expertise in operating such a service. We would endeavour to provide a break that can cater for each Service User’s individual support needs and also importantly their desires and wishes. An assessment will be carried out by Threshold in conjunction with social work, parents, carers etc (if applicable) to determine the level of support required for any individual.
