Campaigns

The Campaign Group is a spin off from the activities that the Link Up Club organises.
If we consider that an access problem exists we enter into discussion with the management of the venue in question to see if reasonable adjustments can be made.
The group meets every Thursday at the Chester Skills Development Centre and is part of Scope's day service programme.
Participants discuss points of discrimination and access experienced by the Link-Up Club members on their leisure activities or in their every day individual lives within their own community. The members regularly go out on fieldwork in order to offer local businesses an access assessment service based on the Disability Rights Commission's October 2004 criteria.
It is hoped that the offer of this service will help local businesses to comply with the law and to improve access to all disabled people.
Furthermore, it should help to increase disability awareness and assuage any fears with regard to the employment of disabled people.

Dances With Schools

Wednesday, June 03, 2009

picture

danceability performed their ‘awareness dances’ for local school children, on march 31st. This is the second show targeting youngsters around 9, 10, 11 years old and we aim to repeat performances 3 to 4 times a year. Our objective is to forge links with local schools and promote disability awareness through our performing arts. We feel the children benefit from interacting with disabled people and the shows will leave a positive impression on them. We want to take away any fears or misconceptions kids might have about disabled people.

Below are some of the letters the children sent us.
