WOW Vacations

"My husband is partially paralyzed after a brain hemorrhage. We used to travel a lot, now we can't anymore. Thanks to the Red Cross, we still went away together for a week this summer. That was such a joy!" Sigriet, 49 years old.

Vacations do everyone good. This is why Belgian Red Cross-Flanders organizes Adapted Holidays for persons who, due to their disability, illness or old age, find it difficult to travel unaccompanied. Of course their caregivers can come along, because they too deserve a carefree and relaxing vacation!

Carefree enjoyment

A vacation at Domein Polderwind is a vacation in a brand new four-star hotel! More than that, it is a vacation that is perfectly tailored to your needs as a holidaymaker or carer. A week without worries. Our well-trained Red Cross volunteers will take care of you day and night. They provide lots of activities and excursions and accompany you with pleasure. Of course, you decide whether you want to participate. In short: all you have to do is enjoy yourself!

For whom

• A number of vacation weeks are aimed at persons who have difficulty going on vacation due to physical disability, illness or old age.
• We also organize vacation weeks especially for people with multiple or mild/moderate intellectual disabilities.
• There are also vacation weeks where we provide extra places for people with high care needs: people who need a hoist, or people who need the assistance of several people, and so on.
