We’re developing our second Disability, Inclusion and Access Plan for 2026-2028 and seeking members to join our working group.
We hope to form a group of diverse, passionate individuals to help shape this important initiative. Our goal is to ensure the plan aligns with our Community Plan, which emphasises inclusivity, accessibility, and support for individuals with disabilities in our community.
About the working group

- Lived experience of disability
