Building Bridges has been busy making 3 easy read information sheets and associated short animated films available on our YouTube channel on the theme of holidays:

Going on holiday should be exciting, but we all know it can get stressful before you go. There’s a lot to remember! That’s why we’ve created a set of simple, easy-read information sheets make your holiday preparation feel easier. 

The first information sheet is all about holiday preparation, including what you need to do and who you might want to tell before you go on holiday. You can also use our information sheet on what to pack to make sure you’ve got everything you need, whether you’re going for a sunny holiday or somewhere cold. Finally, our third information sheet is all about things to remember if you’re going abroad by plane. Whether it is sorting your travel insurance or making sure your luggage isn’t too heavy, we have lots of easy to follow advice to make sure things run smoothly. 

Our pictures for these easy read information sheets were lovingly designed by one of our members, Chrissie Timmins. 

Do take a look at the films on our YouTube channel and find the information sheets in our Easy Read Library!
