A key part of Disabled Access Day is encouraging people to explore somewhere new. This presents a problem. How do they get there? We need transport providers to come forward and show off their accessible transport solutions.
We're pleased to have the support of VisitEngland. “VisitEngland is delighted to support Disabled Access Day, helping people with access needs discover great accessible experiences throughout England”
The focus of the Disabled Access Day is highlighting places that have great disabled access and to encourage disabled people to try new places. The day will provide a great opportunity for you to advertise the accessible rooms and facilities that you offer and to find new potential guests. We have come up with some ideas of how hotels can get involved.
There are only 150 days to go until Disabled Access Day 2015. Make sure you subscribe to our newsletter to keep up-to-date with our latest news.
Disabled Access Day is all about getting out and visiting a venue that you’ve never been to before – whether a cinema, coffee shop, sports centre or anywhere else. We’re asking disabled people and their friends and families to visit somewhere that they’ve never been before on Saturday 17th January 2015.
Lots actually! Did you know that 12% of the population of the USA are disabled people? Did you know that there are over 11 million disabled people plus over 6.5 million carers in the UK?
First things first – how would you like to be involved? Could you tell your members / supporters about us? Could you organise a group or outing to visit somewhere yourselves?
On Disabled Access Day, we would like you to make people feel welcome! Could you hold an event on the day? We know there’s no such thing as a free lunch – but could you offer a free coffee perhaps?
