We'd really welcome your comments and feedback on how accessible our ceremonies and summer camp are and what we could do to make them more accessible.
"
Accessibility means that people can do what they need to do in a similar amount of time and effort as someone that does not have a disability. It means that people are empowered, can be independent, and will not be frustrated by something that is poorly designed or implemented." (Quote from
Gov.uk).
Our ceremony locations to date:
1)
Stourbridge Common, Cambridge, UK.
2)
Karma Farm (Cecil's Field), Ely, UK.
Some of the things we do to help make our events and Summer Camp accessible are:
- Advise all signed-up attendees of likely weather on the day/weekend, suggesting what to wear to cope with precipitation and low temperatures;
- Provide copies of the booklet for ceremonies in advance, that can be printed at A4 or A5 size or downloaded and scaled before printing;
- Encourage sitting down during ceremonies and activities;
- Remind attendees that they do not have to be physically active participants in ceremonies/activities;
- Welcome those that arrive once ceremonies have started or those that can only attend a single-day over the Summer Camp weekend...
... but if there is more we can do, please let us have your suggestions.
