ACCESSIBILITY

We’ve been awarded a Fairer Tech grant from doteveryone to make our events more accessible (woop woop!)

If for any reason there are barriers to engaging in the community we invite anyone to apply for reimbursement to cover personal costs to improve this. The money can cover just about anything, including but not limited to child/other care, taxis if you’re not able-bodied, trains if you live out in the countryside, a live captioner, recording of the event or loss of earnings if you have a side job along your studies. If you feel it’s a barrier, we agree too. Find out more
