U Can Do It
A charity giving information on a range of topics to do with life with a disability, including a link to holiday information.
Matching Houses
Offers information and a database of house swaps for people with disabilities. The idea is that if one person's accessibility needs meet someone else's, both houses should be equally accessible. This is a commercial organisation.
Doctor Babel
A website that allows users to create and maintain an online medical record. The site includes a translation function - this aspect requires a fee, the rest is free. This function allows the information to be translated into a wide range of languages, which may be of help to the traveller who needs medical help.

Financial assistance for holidays
