• VO100070

Access Orkney is a group of volunteers who work to improve access and inclusion for disabled people across Orkney. We do this by raising awareness and helping to change attitudes among the general public and our public services about the need for inclusive access.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to our communities and opportunities. Our mission is to create an inclusive environment where disabled individuals can fully participate and thrive. We want a future in which disability is not a barrier, but rather a celebration of diversity.
