ExtraCare raffle winner to set sail with accessible cruise prize from Limitless Travel

Published September 10, 2026 by Charlotte Millions

A lucky raffle winner is preparing to head on the trip of a lifetime after winning an accessible cruise for two.

The prize from Limitless Travel Limited in support of The ExtraCare Charitable Trust was a seven-night accessible cruise for two aboard P&O Cruises’ Iona, departing from Southampton on 17th October 2026 and visiting France and Spain, including Le Havre, Vigo, A Coruña and Bilbao.

The prize was won in a raffle held across five ExtraCare retirement villages in and around Birmingham. The villages Solihull, Longbridge, Bournville, Hagley and New Oscott encouraged entry from residents, staff and visitors alike. All funds raised will help to create better lives for older people living in the retirement communities.

Susan Wright who runs the salon at New Oscott Retirement Village in Birmingham was named as the winner after entering the draw, which closed on Friday 4th September.

Reacting to the news, Susan said: “I am not historically lucky, but I’ve always fancied a cruise and thought I’d give entering a go. When I entered and bought my ticket, I thought, ‘I’m not winning this’ and I’ve only gone and won! I’ve run the salon at New Oscott Village for 14 years and I’ve got a great relationship with the residents, so they’ll be shocked as well.

I’ll be bringing my partner on the cruise with me. We’ve never been on one before and I’m really looking forward to waking up in a different country.”

Mark Clements, Fundraising Manager at The ExtraCare Charitable Trust, said: “We’re thrilled to have collaborated with Limitless Travel, working together to create better lives for older people and ensuring mobility is no barrier to a full and exciting life. Congratulations to Susan we hope her holiday is everything she has dreamt of and more.”
