Waves Of Access CIC, will be organised by myself alongside my existing team of conscientious employees who work for my two companies, Breakwater Holidays Ltd & South West Domestics Ltd. Together we form a passionate team dedicated to making the world a more inclusive place, one holiday at a time. With significant experience in marketing and managing short-term rentals, and firsthand experience of working with users of social services and associated organisations, I recognise the challenges that people with disabilities face when trying to find suitable holiday accommodations.
My Vision:
My vision is simple: to ensure that everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, can enjoy a relaxing holiday by the sea. We believe that everyone deserves the chance to explore new places, take in breathtaking views, and experience the joy of a getaway. However, for many in the disabled community, finding suitable accommodation can be a daunting task, with most properties not meeting their physical needs, or not meeting the needs of their mental health.
My Solution:
To create a small collection of fully accessible holiday homes across Devon and Cornwall. This campaign relates to the acquisition and adaptation of the initial two properties. These homes will be designed from the ground up to cater to the needs of wheelchair users and those requiring additional support. Each property will feature smooth, sloped paths, wide doorways, accessible bathrooms, and even hoists and adjustable beds where needed. One of the properties will be adapted to meet the needs of non physical disabilities or conditions in addition to those of people with physical disabilities. We’re committed to making these homes available exclusively to the disabled community, ensuring they have a safe and welcoming space to enjoy their holidays.
Why This Matters:
Imagine being confined to a bed or a wheelchair but still being able to wake up to the sound of the sea, with a stunning view of the coast right outside your window. This is what we want to offer—an experience that many people take for granted, but that can be life-changing for those with mobility challenges. By making these properties available only to those with disabilities, we’re ensuring that this often-overlooked community has the same opportunities for relaxation and adventure as everyone else.
How We Will Use the Funds:
The money raised will go directly towards:
• Property Acquisition: Purchasing 2 properties in prime coastal locations (£1,000,000).
• Adaptations: Fitting each property with the necessary modifications and equipment (£200,000) and making them superficially appealing in the same way that any other short term rental would be designed.
• Marketing: Promoting these properties to the disabled community, using our in-house marketing agency at a reduced rate, ensuring maximum reach and awareness.
