DisabledGo’s mission is to empower hearing impaired, mobility impaired and vision impaired people, all carers, and those who are temporarily incapacitated, elderly and infirm as well as parents with pushchairs by providing detailed access information for public venues from art-galleries to swimming pools, from theatres to zoos.
DisabledGo produce access guides to goods and services and have been specially designed to answer the everyday questions of disabled people, their carers, family and friends. The guides will enable you to make up your own mind about what you would like to do today; to leave your home with a thorough understanding of the facilities and levels of access you are likely to encounter and for you to decide whether a venue or service meets your needs. For example, whether a hotel has a vibrating fire alarm, what side of a museum’s steps the handrails are on, if a solicitor will make home visits, or if a cafe offers its menu in larger print.
