- “Just a Minute” Card and commitment to accessibility
- Description
-
The Cork-based Trigon Hotel Group is the first hotel group in Ireland to become ‘Just A Minute’ (JAM) Card friendly, ensuring that their hotels are welcoming and accessible to all. People with memory problems or difficulties to communicate, unable to explain their condition to others can carry a ‘Just A Minute’ (JAM) card which provides a simple and stress-free solution. The JAM card can be presented discretely in a public environment to tell people that the holder may need a bit more time or additional assistance. Team members across the Trigon Group’s hotels have been trained to identify and support customers and fellow team members carrying JAM Cards. The Trigon Hotel Group has further shown its commitment to accessibility by raising €11,000 to fund the creation of a new wheelchair-accessible sensory garden in the city, offering young people and adults with learning disabilities an “oasis of calm” in the busy city.
