Ready for 2023 with New Tour Buses

2023 is fast approaching and our clients at Blacklight Tours have just taken delivery of two brand-new production vehicles to prepare for the year ahead.

Bespoke WAV for a Young Adult’s Care Group

Over the years, we have worked with a variety of different health and care organisations and during this time we have converted a number of specialist vehicles specifically for clients with complex needs.

Most recently, we had the pleasure of converting a L3H2 Fiat Ducato for a group of specialist residential homes based in Bedfordshire. The group specialises in providing long-term residential care and support to young people, aged 18 and over, with complex needs such as autism or learning difficulties. Each home works closely with its young adult clients to help them achieve their aspirations. Some of the group’s specialist services include accommodation with nursing or personal care, care for individuals with learning difficulties, mental health conditions, physical disabilities and serious impairments plus care for children or adults aged 65 and under.
