About Us

Vision Statement

Our vision is of a world in which adults and children with disabilities are able to maximise their quality of life through social and travel opportunities.

Mission Statement

To make it possible for adults and children with disabilities, severely ill or significantly dependent to travel in specially designed vehicles, based on a coach and ambulance configuration and known as 'JUMBULANCES'

Core Values

• We believe that people with disabilities should not be confined to their home, hospice or hospital environment nor excluded from social and travel opportunities because of their disabilities.
• We believe that travel allows people with disabilities to reconnect with society; that it is an integral part of their rehabilitation and an enhancement of their quality of life.
• We believe in the benefits of providing a first class, specialist means of travel and a safe and caring environment for people with disabilities.
• We believe in tailoring our services and destinations to the needs and preferences of those with disabilities.
• We believe in equality of opportunity and access for all people regardless of race, religion or gender.

The Jumbulance Trust is a registered charity (no. 1090731).

The Trust was launched in December 2001 under the title New Jumbulance Travel Trust, and obtained charitable status on 20^th February 2002.  It is a non-profit making organisation dedicated to making travel possible for disabled and sick adults and children.
