Training for organisations

Disability awareness, accessibility, and inclusion training for the outdoor, leisure and tourism sectors

Bespoke training for your organisation to help you become more accessible and inclusive. We have experience of working with both large and small organisation and our training can focus on increasing the skills and confidence of your whole team or be tailored to the skills needed by those in specific roles.

Our experienced trainers will work with you to identify your unique challenges and design a programme that will increase the skills and confidence of your team in a practical and engaging way.

"Really enjoyed the day. It was so inclusive and relaxed but came away feeling like I'd learnt a lot. Have spoken a lot about the things I've learnt to family over the past week. Still thinking about it."

"The trainer was phenomenal - I loved her energy and the way she gave us time to think about things. She has a way of making everyone feel included and heard... I found the terminology session very useful and liked that we were given time to talk things through."
