Disabled Access Day
Disabled Access Day is an annual event, to raise awareness of the access issues faced by the disabled community. The first event took place Saturday, January 17, 2015 and over 200 organisation took part across the UK and further afield. This Saturday, 12th March 2016, businesses such as Barclays Bank, Strada Restaurant, Caffè Nero and many many more are gearing up to take part in this year’s #AccessDay.
