Privacy policy

1. Introduction

Dronningens Ferieby is a privately run, accessible holiday facility built in 1990 by The Danish Multiple Sclerosis Society, an organisation that works to combat MS. Its main object is to support Danes who have multiple sclerosis and to improve conditions for the many Danish families whose lives are affected by the disease. Dronningens Ferieby offers holidays in light, newly renovated chalets that have been tastefully decorated and designed with safety and freedom in mind, particularly for wheelchair users, people with reduced mobility and people who need extra flexibility or aids in their daily lives. Accordingly, all the holiday chalets at Dronningens Ferieby have been modernised to a high standard and thoroughly tested by no fewer than 10 groups of people with various disabilities – for example, people with multiple sclerosis or visual impairments, and wheelchair users. Dronningens Ferieby thus benefits numerous residential facilities, day centres, care centres and families.
