Are you a Disabled person, or do you care for a Disabled person, who lives in Hartcliffe or Withywood?
Parks aren’t always accessible for Disabled people and their carers. We want to change that and would like you to help us.
We are starting with Hartcliffe Millennium Green in Bristol.
We are testing a new way for Disabled pe
ople, and carers to look at their local park and think about how it can be better for them. We will use this to make a toolkit, which is a set of instructions anyone can pick up and use.
We are looking for 15 local Disabled people and carers
