Getting about better in Herefordshire

We believe increasing accessibility and inclusivity is good for everyone and positively contributes to the long-term sustainability of the county.

​

Accessible Herefordshire CIC are  passionate about fostering accessibility and creating a welcoming environment for all. We believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities and experiences, regardless of their abilities or background. We help businesses, communities and visitors in Herefordshire  by providing  information, training, consultancy and advice.  Through our initiatives and advocacy efforts, we strive to be agents of positive change, working to break down barriers and promote inclusivity in Herefordshire and beyond. Whether it's improving physical accessibility, enhancing digital platforms, or raising awareness about diverse needs, we're dedicated to making a tangible difference in people's lives.

​

We understand that accessibility is not a one-size-fits-all solution. That's why we actively listen to and amplify the voices of individuals with different experiences and perspectives. By giving voice to diverse needs, we ensure that our initiatives are informed by real-world insights and have a meaningful impact on the communities we serve.

Our approach is rooted in flexibility and agility, allowing us to respond effectively to evolving needs and challenges. We're committed to working collaboratively with stakeholders both within and outside our organization to effect positive changes from the outside in.

​

Together, we can create a more inclusive and accessible Herefordshire where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to participate fully in all aspects of community life. Join us in championing accessibility and welcoming diversity with open arms.
