Events accessibility
Inclusive events, designed for everyone
We want anyone to be able to come to our events, so we try to remove barriers when designing or planning out get-togethers.
Here, we will tell you what you will find at all our events as standard. We know that we can’t predict everyone’s needs, so we have also included some examples of other provisions we can offer if required. If anything you might require isn’t mentioned, you can email eve@wewillthrive.co.uk and we’ll do our best to ensure you’re accommodated.
Access provisions that are standard for all events
Step-free venues
We will always book wheelchair accessible/step free venues for our events and communicate venue-specific access information ahead of time.
Information ahead of time
We will communicate what to expect at events ahead of time, including timings.
Clear & Slow Speech

Access provisions that can be offered if required

Larger font sizes for emails or documents
High contrast colours in documents
No use of red or green colours
Captions or subtitles
Range of different food options including vegetarian, vegan, nut-free options
Sign language interpretation
Good lighting to assist with lipreading

Do you need more information?
If you don’t feel comfortable responding via an event survey, you can email eve@wewillthrive.co.uk or call the office and ask to speak with Eve on 02890436480 and mention that it’s regarding the event you’re attending.
You’re also always welcome to email or call if you have any questions about the event, or anything else thrive is working on.
We’re always trying to improve our access provisions, so if you’ve noticed something we’ve missed, we’d really like to hear from you about it. You can send Eve an email:
