This is a Jumbulance.  It has been built, equipped and designated as an ambulance to accommodate travellers with difficulties or disabilities.  The interior consists of hospital beds and reclining seats, a kitchenette and easy access WC.  February 2012 sees a new Jumbulance arrive.


The Jumbulance Trust


The Jumbulance Trust is a small, national charity which "Makes Travel Possible" for sick, disabled and other disadvantaged individuals, known as VIPs. 


The Trust provides the vehicles and drivers at subsidised rates to groups around the UK and Ireland.


The groups provide holidays and pilgrimages that VIPs could never entertain without significant physical and medical assistance.




Jumbulance 2003

Who can go on a Jumbulance holiday?

Our group, founded in 2003, organises self-funded trips for VIPs mainly from the Berkshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire areas.  During the past nine years we have travelled within the UK and overseas to Germany, Ireland, Italy and France.


We currently have three volunteer group leaders - David Lumsden, Chris Chisholm and David Shillibier.  We are delighted to welcome Charles Nicholson, who will be leading our pilgrimage to Lourdes.


Each Jumbulance trip has a medical team to suit the profile of the VIPs (including a doctor when necessary and registered nurses) and a group of volunteers who all give up their time to accompany VIPs.


We are always keen to hear from medical professionals, particularly nurses, who would be interested in caring for a VIP on one of our trips.  If you would like further information, please email:

The holidays are for sick, disabled and other disadvantaged individuals - VIPs.  Many of our VIPs hear about us through their local community; some live at home, while others come from care homes and hospices.
We also welcome spouses to come on our holidays, enabling them to have a break without the caring responsibilities.

Latest News ...... Four Trips for 2012

2012 will see us returning to both Llandudno and Norfolk for a third time.  Both venues have proved to be ideal for our Jumbulance trips and are always a sell out!
We last went to Ireland back in 2008 and have managed to book a week in July.
Our fourth trip of the year will be a pilgrimage to Lourdes in October.
