We have been working with organisations to embed best practice since 2000.
Michael Eavis, Co-Founder, Glastonbury Festival
“Myself and Emily are so thrilled that Glastonbury has been given this award. It is so important that our festival can give access to people that would otherwise find it difficult. Having worked with Attitude is Everything since 2005, the festival has made some significant changes to get us to where we are now. We thank Attitude for the advice and assistance they have given the festival over the years, and we look forward to continuing our work with them.”
John Rostron, Chief Executive Officer, Association of Independent Festivals (AIF)
“Every year we build brilliant festivals that bring joy, music and wonder to millions. Our gift is that we then have 12 months to reimagine what the festival will look like, and we can constantly create, innovate and improve. This is one wonderful reason why festivals lead on accessibility – they’re more nimble and free to listen, adapt and change – and the Charter is a great framework and measure by which we can all be better for the good of us all.”
Jonathan Brown, Chief Executive, STAR
“STAR is pleased to have worked with Attitude is Everything for the past ten years and we share an aim to improve ticketing for disabled people. Their work to create standards through their Charter is crucial in setting the bar for access provision – the inclusion of ticketing in that is vital. We support their work and recommend the Charter to all venues and festivals that wish to show their commitment to making their events accessible for all.”
John Mottram, Chief Strategy, Communications & Public Affairs Officer, PRS for Music
“At PRS for Music we know the power and importance of advocacy in securing a fairer and more representative music industry. We are delighted to continue our support for Attitude is Everything, this time with the launch of their Live Events Access Charter which celebrates venues and festivals demonstrating a commitment to greater inclusivity. By removing barriers to access in the live music sector we can make concerts and festivals accessible and welcoming to all.”
Jon Collins, CEO, LIVE
“One of LIVE’s core values is that UK live music should be accessible to all – on and off stage and in the audience. In seeking to live those values, LIVE could not ask for a better partner than Attitude is Everything. We are therefore delighted to offer our support for the revised Live Events Access Charter. Live music is a joyous communal experience enriched by taking place in inclusive and accessible spaces. It is great, therefore, that the Charter serves as a clear way for our venues and festivals to evidence their commitment to inclusion – a commitment made in the knowledge it improves the experience for us all”.
Kate Reilly, Chief Membership & People Officer, PPL
“PPL is delighted to support the vital work of Attitude is Everything. Music by its very nature helps create connection, and in the live space that shared connection is cemented between performers and fans. We are proud to support the relaunch of the Live Events Access Charter to help ensure all fans, regardless of a disability, can access and enjoy live music experiences.”
Helen Choudhury, Head of DEI, CSR and Wellbeing, MPA
“MPA is proud to sponsor Attitude is Everything’s relaunch of the Live Events Access Charter. By supporting this launch, the MPA aims to inspire industry-wide adoption of the Charter and drive meaningful change. Music has the power to bring people together, and it’s essential that barriers preventing disabled individuals from fully participating in live events are removed.
Through initiatives like this, the MPA continues to advocate for a music industry that values inclusion, wellbeing and corporate social responsibility. Together with Attitude is Everything, the MPA is committed to creating a world where everyone can share in the joy and connection that live music provides”
