We need you!
In 2018 we conducted a survey about Accessibility and You. Since then your insights have helped us to shape the future of accessibility information and the work we do at AccessAble.
This year, we're going even bigger! You can be a part of change.

Tomorrow is International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
At AccessAble, our focus is on disability every day of the year. Why? Because accessibility information is not a ‘nice to have’. It’s essential.
We are AccessAble. We’re here to take the chance out of going out.
Great work to the teams @AccessAbleUK and @altontowers who have worked on this. It's a fantastic resource of information and will make a huge difference to guests visiting the resort. #accessibility

Young boy on the tube looking at the tube map and asking his mum about the wheelchair user symbols. She’s been explaining they are the step free stations. He spent a minute or so looking at it and then said but what if you want to go to all the other places without the symbol?
Proud as Chair of @southbankvenues to be supporting @AccessAbleUK in ensuring #Southbanklondon is properly accessible and that our visitors #KnowMoreGoMore . Great to hear from Dr Gregory Burke and I agree, we should be participating because it is the right thing to do.
Dr Gregory Burke, Founder of AccessAble ‘We’ve worked with over 1000 groups of disabled people to define and refine a methodology to collect information that allows everyone to know more, go more.’ #AccessAbleLondon#AccessAbleIt#KnowMoreGoMore
