Do you need help to meet arts council requirements and ensure that your facilities are as accessible as possible to disabled and Deaf people? Would you like to feature more disabled or Deaf artists on your program?

We want to celebrate the high quality, innovative work produced by disabled people. We can offer expert advice and guidance on programming, access and partnership working.
