Access
We try and make sure there are as few barriers to people joining our events as possible. We can pay for participants to take taxis to/from events for reasons such as disability, health conditions, wellbeing and personal safety if it means they can come along and would not otherwise be able to. Please be aware that we have a limited budget for this so only request this if you need it. We would ask you to book and pay for your taxi/s and keep the receipt/s. We can then reimburse you if you fill in a short form which we will send to those who have requested taxi expenses to be covered.
We are using a step free venue. If you have any access requirements, please let us know in advance by emailing [email protected]
Buddy System
We will have a buddy system to help if you are feeling nervous about coming along and meeting new people. You can book an 'I'd love to be linked with a buddy' 'ticket' in addition to your regular ticket. If you feel more comfortable in the group and able to offer yourself as a buddy you can book an 'I can be a buddy...' 'ticket' in addition to your regular ticket. Then we will e-introduce you so that you can connect beforehand if you wish to.
Queer Heritage South is a programme powered by Marlborough Productions. Made possible thanks to The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
