‘Talking’ Travel peer support group

Please come and join group facilitators Richard Zimbler and Rachael Foley for our second 'Talking' Travel peer support group meeting where we are delighted to welcome our guest speaker Gavin Neate, Founder and CEO of WelcoMe, a web based person-centred tool to share your access needs.

Gavin Neate is the founder of WelcoMe, a SaaS model company with a unique, innovative tool.

WelcoMe’s mission is to support businesses to be universally accessible for the benefit of society and is the most person-centred tool to share access needs.

Gavin is a socially-engaged entrepreneur, with over 30 years experience as a Mobility Instructor and Disability advocate. Since founding his company in 2011, Gavin has addressed the challenges faced by disabled people with innovative tech solutions.

Gavin’s aim is to end ‘arrival anxiety’. WelcoMe is a web-based tool to give disabled people the most dignified and personal method to share their accessibility requirements when visiting shops, venues or restaurants for example. The tool supports businesses with enhanced communication and instant training. This means that teams do not need to rely on learning recall and can identify people with hidden conditions. WelcoMe gives dignity, and functions in the space between traditional training and the point of delivery.
