You care about inclusion.
You want Disabled people to feel welcome in your space, your service, or your organisation.
But maybe you’re also feeling:
unsure where to start
overwhelmed by conflicting advice
anxious about getting it wrong
stretched thin on time, money, and capacity
You’re not alone, and you’re not a bad person for feeling this way.
Accessibility you can Actually Do is a supportive, practical workshop designed for organisations, venues, creatives, and community spaces who want to move beyond good intentions and take meaningful action on accessibility.
This isn’t about perfection, box-ticking, or expensive changes you can’t afford.
It’s about understanding priorities, removing barriers you may not even realise are there, and feeling confident in the decisions you’re making.
What you’ll learn
What accessibility actually means in day-to-day practice
Common barriers Disabled people face and how to reduce them
How to prioritise access when time, budget, or control over your space is limited
How to respond confidently to access needs and requests
How to embed accessibility into your culture, not just your policies
All sessions are led by facilitators with lived experience of disability, combining honest conversation with practical tools you can use straight away.

Yes. This training is designed specifically with limited time, money, and resources in mind.
We focus on prioritisation: helping you understand what actually makes the biggest difference, so you can take meaningful action without adding an unmanageable workload.
-
No prior knowledge is needed.
This workshop is designed to meet you where you are. We’ll explain concepts clearly, avoid jargon, and create space for questions without judgement.

Rather than giving rigid rules, we focus on helping you build confidence and decision-making skills.
You’ll learn how to think about accessibility, respond to individual needs, and adapt to new situations, not just follow a checklist.
-
This workshop is not focused on legal compliance or risk management.
While we may touch on relevant responsibilities, the emphasis is on practical, human-centred accessibility that genuinely supports Disabled people - not box-ticking.
-
All sessions are led by facilitators with lived experience of disability.
This means the training is grounded in real-world experience, practical insight, and an understanding of the nuance and complexity of accessibility.

We explore a wide range of access needs, including (but not limited to):
mobility access
neurodivergence
mental health
chronic illness and chronic pain

sensory access and vision or hearing loss
We also focus on how to respond to needs that may not be visible or anticipated.
