The Accessible Guide believes a partnership approach around access and inclusion can be mutually beneficual to all parties. We can support businesses to remain and become more inclusive and welcoming to Disabled People, that will enhance a visitors experience.

Access and inclusion of all individuals is central to any partnerhsip. Under the Equality Act 2010, businesses have a duty to ensure their services and venues are accessible and inclusive. Businesses that are welcoming and inclusive to Disabled People can tap into a revenue stream called the ‘Purple Pound’, which is the combined spending power of Disabled People in UK. Latest figures suggest the value of the Purple Pound to be a staggering £274 billion per year.

From a businesses legal obligations to the opportunity increase revenue streams, being inclusive and welcoming to Disabled People isn’t just the right thing to do, it is also the smart thing to do.
