Trevassack Holidays is opening a brand new, accessible holiday accommodation centre in Cornwall for parents and children with a range of physical disabilities and special educational needs.
Helston, United Kingdom - May 26, 2021 /PressCable/ —
The first of its kind in Cornwall and a leader in the UK for inclusive, accessible holidays, Trevassack Holidays is scheduled for opening in August 2021.
Trevassack Lake, a former serpentine quarry near Cury on The Lizard peninsula is currently being re-developed to create a community events space, Learning Centre, Café, watersports provision and 6 state-of-the-art holiday properties that cater for a range of abilities and needs.
Purpose-built for locals and visitors to Cornwall alike, this accommodation has many features that make it usable for parents and children with a range of physical disabilities and special educational needs.
Open plan properties situated on the 26-acre grounds all feature outdoor seating areas, hot tubs and ample self-catering kitchen areas. Some of the larger properties have integrated electric ceiling hoists to enable those who need it to easily gain access to en-suite bathrooms, with large doorways and electric profile beds.
A stones-throw from the accommodation are watersports facilities for all, run by Children’s Sailing Trust, a charity that works to provide access to sailing and more for those who might never normally get the opportunity. Year-round wild swimming, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding and more are available for those with limited mobility or are fully able, with on-site staff also skilled in helping beginners and those with special educational needs.
In the past year, so many have developed a new-found or rekindled appreciation for nature, getting outdoors and spending quality time with loved ones. The importance of outdoor activities such as wild swimming for our physical and mental health cannot be underestimated, and Trevassack Holidays helps create these opportunities as we leave the past year of lockdowns behind us. Pullies, sloped beaches, pontoons and more means that people with a range of accessibility needs will be able to enjoy the water for themselves.
Jakie Jewell, Trevassack Holidays Accommodation Manager said: “We’re proud to be creating this exciting space for all to come and enjoy. Years of hard work and planning have gone into every detail of our accessible accommodation and every aspect of making this as welcoming a space as possible. We know how difficult it can be for families with a parent or child with a physical disability to find accessible accommodation in Cornwall and the UK that caters for their needs, and we’re pleased that holidays will soon be possible that give people the space they need to get away and be together as a family. Throughout the challenges of the past year and Covid-19, we’ve adapted to make this project a real success and are so thankful to everyone who has supported us to get here.”
This whole project has been made possible through grants from the Coastal Communities Fund and European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, along with generous charitable grant givers including The Bradbury Foundation Hong Kong and The Clare Milne Trust, helping to transform Trevassack Holidays into a year-round accessible accommodation and watersports facility for all.
