Supporting you to break down barriers.
Informed by industry experience
We have over 20 years’ experience offering a wide range of disability-led consultancy services which focus on improving access for audiences, artists and professionals. This includes over 15 years of delivering our sector-leading Live Events Access Charter and support programmes.

Our clients include Glastonbury Festival, Bristol Beacon, RADA, Help Musicians UK, Wembley Arena, LS Events, Hay Festival, HM Government of Gibraltar, Falmouth University, BBC, Events Industry Forum and the Roundhouse Young Producers Programme.
Our work is led by Paul Hawkins, our Head of Skills Development, supported by a team of colleagues and freelancers. He sits on the UK Music Diversity Taskforce and the Standards Advisory Committee for the newly-created Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority. From 2021 to 2024, he was the Chair of Inclusion London.
