Who we work with…
Attitude is Everything
We are a disability-led charity with 20 years of experience supporting non-profit and commercial organisations to make what they do more accessible and inclusive for Deaf and disabled people.
Our core work is centred on our status as an Arts Council England Sector Support Organisation for the live music industry, working in partnership with audiences, artists and the industry to improve Deaf and disabled people’s access to live music.
Event Mobility
Event Mobility is a registered charity, established in 1998/9 to provide access to shows and events for the disabled, elderly and mobility impaired through the short term loan of electric scooters and manual wheelchairs. The charity was the brain child of the founder, Bryan Lupton, who was diagnosed in 1995 with MS and could no longer enjoy “walking the X- country course” at Badminton Horse Trials. With the use of a loaned mobility scooter he was, once again, able to enjoy what more mobile people could and decided this facility should be available at events throughout the country. As a result, with the help of Jeremy Soper, a close relative, Event Mobility was born and in March 1999, became a registered charity (No. 1074608).
Diverse UK
Diverse is an independent organisation run for and by people with autism in the Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire area. Diverse runs activities for people to attend organised by people with autism. We want to grow a friendly autistic connected community through social activities, and social media.
Through Accessible Events we have collaborated to create our first Low Sensory Space for Music Festivals. This is a space for people with sensory issue are able to go and recalibrate rather than having to leave the event. For more information contact hello@diverseuk.org.
