Proud Futures Commitment to Accessibility

• Accessibility is part of our commitment to collective liberation. Needs are diverse, sometimes conflicting, and no space can be "fully accessible" to everyone. We are learning in public, open to feedback, and accountable when we get things wrong.
• As a small organisation, our capacity and resources are limited. We’ll be transparent about what we can offer now, what we’re working on next, and we’ll collaborate with you to find workable options.
• A non-exhaustive list of areas that we will try to take care around Physical Access, Communication needs, Sensory & Wellbeing needs, Provision of Food and Drink and Financial Access
• If something would help you participate, please tell us and we’ll do our best to make it happen: [email protected]
