Making Cornwall accessible for all...

We’re dedicated to helping Cornish organisations and venues welcome everyone. We’re not just here to help wheelchair users, although we do that! We help families who want to plan a great day out for their autistic children, parents pushing buggies, people who have vision or hearing loss, and older people who want to enjoy the beauty and culture of Cornwall.

Your donation will make a huge difference!

If you live with a disability, if you’re a carer, or even if you’re just a little bit older or have young kids, finding places to enjoy time with family and friends can be hard.
 
Life can get very lonely. 
 
Here’s how you can help everyone to enjoy Cornwall.

£675 A new life for someone in dark times

Some of the people we support to get out and do our reviews have been through very difficult challenges. These funds help us in our longer mentoring work to support people with disabilities and mental health challenges to gain new confidence, new skills and a new life.

As one new reviewer, told us in our second month of support: "You might think that this is a really small thing you're doing, but it's not, it's huge, it's opened my world up again. I can finally go out of the house alone and take my kids out to beaches and woods."
