ABOUT THE PROGRAMME In September 2005, over 500 complimentary bedrooms at Clarion Hotels, Quality Hotels and Comfort Inns were distributed to families living with a disabled child or adult. Over 250 two night breaks were taken throughout Ireland, by parents and siblings of children with disabilities, some taking the opportunity to travel with or without their child. In 2006, the programme welcomed an increase of the allocation of bed nights to 1000, to be distributed to a wider net of disability groups, based on the tremendous success of the programme in 2005. The 2007/2008 Programme will be released in September 2007. Please read on for details of how to apply. WHO IS ELIGIBLE? With the sole objective of offering a break to Irish families living with disabilities and special needs, the Time For You programme is open to all familiies of people with intellectual or physical disabilities. WHAT IS OFFERED? The programme offers families a 2 night hotel stay at a Choice Hotel Ireland ( see www.choicehotelsireland.ie ). Breakfast and meals are not included. Stays are offered between October and December 2007 (SEASON 1), and January and April 2008 (SEASON 2). HOW IT WORKS?
