At first glance, they look like rocks 🦭

A recent MyLife Short Break to Norfolk included boat trips, seaside views, and the chance to spot around 300 seals along the coastline, creating plenty of memorable moments along the way.

HF Mencap’s MyLife Short Breaks give adults with learning disabilities and autism the opportunity to relax, explore new places, build confidence, and enjoy time away with others in a supportive environment.

We’re already looking ahead to upcoming 2026 trips, including Norfolk, Butlins, the Cotswolds and Centre Parcs.

For more information or to book onto an upcoming short break, please contact the MyLife team.
