Jumbulance Trust

Call Directions Website

Jumbulance Trust 25 years of joyful adventures! Our unique Jumbulances securely accommodate multiple wheelchairs or beds for travel.

As a charity, we fundraise to maintain coaches and subsidise trip costs. Our goal: to keep making magical memories for all onboard. The Jumbulance Trust exists to make it possible for severely disabled and unwell adults, children and dependent elderly people to travel on holidays and day outings which for most would be well nigh impossible by air, rail, standard coach or any other means. You can hire a Jumbulance to take a party to see local places of interest or maybe disabled supporters of your favourite sports club to watch a match or sporting event. You can hire a Jumbulance for a longer period, perhaps to take a group on a ten day holiday, or pilgrimage to paces all over mainly Europe, as far as Poland, Austria and Italy. With all the special facilities in a Jumbulance you can travel safely and in comfort all day and throughout the night subject to EU Regulations, with no need even to leave the Jumbulance when crossing the Channel, if your disability or illness makes it inappropriate to do so.

Image Description: 1 A beautifully maintained Commonwealth war cemetery near Ypres. Hundreds of white headstones are arranged in neat rows among vibrant red rose bushes and colourful planting. The cemetery extends into the distance beneath a clear blue sky, highlighting the scale of the memorial and the care taken to honour those who lost their lives during the First World War.
2. A peaceful First World War military cemetery near Ypres. Three dark stone crosses stand in the foreground beneath tall trees, with rows of grave markers stretching across the grass beyond. Visitors can be seen walking through the cemetery, while dappled sunlight filters through the trees, creating a reflective and tranquil setting.

Image description: 1. A group of six adults gather around a table in a spacious museum . Three people are seated and three are standing nearby, all wearing coats and outdoor clothing. The venue features wooden flooring, tables and chairs, a mezzanine level with glass railings, and exhibition displays on the upper level. Visible signage includes "Proximity" and information boards in the background.
2. Two ladies, wearing coats, laughing and smiling on static fairground horses outside an amusement arcade.
3. Four people pause on a narrow street lined with historic stone buildings. Two wheelchair users are positioned at the front, accompanied by two standing companions behind them. One historic building features wooden shutters and a painted sign reading “Maison Paternelle de Ste Bernadette.” The scene is set in daylight, with stone walls, a sloping pathway, and traditional architecture creating the backdrop.
4. Three people are seated together at a wooden table inside a historic café or museum-style venue. The table holds drinks, maps, and a notebook. Behind them are vintage wooden display cabinets, rows of small drawers, model sailing ships, and historic advertising signs. Warm lighting hangs from the ceiling, and a stained-glass feature is displayed above the central cabinet, creating a traditional and nostalgic atmosphere.
