"Services for Independent Living recently worked with Accessible Herefordshire CiC on the renewal of our Disability Leader Level 3 accreditation. Vicky and Angela have sound, practical knowledge and their support throughout the process was instructive and very much welcomed.

 Accessible Herefordshire CiC offered clear guidance, constructive feedback, and a collaborative approach that helped us strengthen our overall accessibility offer."

​

"Dr Ellie Chowns MP commissioned Accessible Herefordshire to support the work of her office at the level of a Gold Audit.  Committing to a year of support has meant that the whole team (7 locally, 2 in Westminster) see that accessibility is absolutely part of how we do things"
