20 organisations have been shortlisted for DWP's Accessible Britain Challenge Awards
The awards highlight the huge contribution disabled people make through accessible communities through employment and also economically with a combined spending power of £212 billion a year, known as the ‘purple pound’.
Organisations are nominated across 4 categories:
- Improved mobility
- Innovative use of buildings, spaces and places
- Safer neighbourhoods
- Inclusive social activities
Nominations for the awards were made by individual disabled people or disabled people’s organisations, encouraging them to get involved and to share how they have benefitted from local projects, initiatives, services or social activities.
Disability Rights UK would like to congratulate our member organisation Dots Disability who have been shortlisted for this award.
