At Unyoked, our mission is to help more people access the benefits of nature more often. And that means all people, not just one group over others.
We recognise the importance of making our off-grid cabin experiences accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. And, while we’re a young startup and are early on in this journey to helping everyone get off the grid when they need to, we’re committed to continually improving our accessibility standards based on valuable feedback from our community.
Immediate Actions
1. Communication & Information
- Accessibility Content: We aim to review all our content to ensure it’s considerate of all accessibility-related guests and their needs, making sure it includes the right information to help all make the decision to book or seek further assistance from our team.
- Enhanced Online Accessibility Information: Our website now features updated and easy to find information, in this article for a start, about the current accessibility features of our cabins.
Long-Term Goals and Actions
2. Accessibility Design & Features
- Design and Infrastructure:
- Conduct a comprehensive review of our cabin designs to identify potential modifications that can enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
- Develop and implement a phased plan to incorporate accessibility features such as ramps, wider doorways, and accessible bathrooms in new and existing cabins.
- Guest Experience:
- Create detailed accessibility guides for each cabin, outlining the specific features and limitations to help our community make informed decisions.
3. Community Engagement
- Feedback and Collaboration:
- Promote regular feedback loops with our community and accessibility experts to continually refine and improve our accessibility initiatives.
- Host focus groups and virtual meetings with individuals passionate about accessibility to gather insights and suggestions for future improvements.
Here at Unyoked we’re dedicated to creating a more inclusive and accessible off-grid experience for all. We started this because we genuinely believe in the power of nature to help everyone live healthier and happier lives, and that doesn’t stop at one group of individuals. We’re extremely grateful for all the feedback from our community on this topic (and more), it helps us grow and improve.
With that in mind, this is an open invitation to anyone interested in discussing our accessibility plans further to reach out to us directly. If you have lived experience, are an expert or are passionate about this area, we’d love to hear from you.
