Positive about Disabled People

Disabled Go
We are a member of the highly commendable Disabled Go organisation which is an award-winning disability organisation that has been in operation since 2000. They assess venues for suitability and produce online access guides in a great deal of detail to a huge range of venues. DisabledGo is unique in sending a surveyor to visit every single venue. These surveyors use the same standards to assess each venue meaning users can rely on the information and these standards have been developed by disabled people. The aim is to give people information so that they can make up their own mind whether a venue is right for them.

European Social Fund ESF
As part of our efforts to ensure education and training is as affordable as possible to as many of our learners as possible, we have secured ESF funding for some of our services.
