Information is so powerful, especially when it’s accurate and up to date.

Having reliable access information helps open up places and experiences for everyone, giving people the confidence to explore more independently.

That’s why we do what we do, because having the right information can make a big difference.

Finding a restaurant that suits everyone’s needs can sometimes be challenging, especially when different people in your group have different access needs.

explains how she plans her meals out, and what she looks for when she’s searching for somewhere to eat.

Our Detailed Access Guides can help take away some of the unknowns when planning a meal out, from knowing what a venue will look like in advance, to information on seating, noise levels, and more.

With just 1 month to go until Wimbledon 2026, it’s a timely reminder that we’ve created Detailed Access Guides for all key venues used during the Championships, as well as a wide range of places and spaces in the surrounding area.

These Guides, available on our website, provide a wealth of accurate, practical information to help people plan their visit in advance and make informed choices about their time at Wimbledon.

Each part of the grounds has been surveyed in detail by our trained surveyors and cover everything from step-free access routes and seating areas to accessible toilets, parking, drop-off points, signage, lighting, and more.

We pride ourselves on the level of detail we include in these Guides, with hundreds of data points recorded for each location. This gives a clear and reliable picture of what to expect on arrival, based on measurements and in-person observations, rather than assumptions.

Outside the Championships, our surveyors have also collected a range of details on facilities including the museum, library and learning centre so if you’re planning to visit at other times of the year, you can find all you need to know through our Guides.

By bringing together information on both the Championships venues and nearby places to visit and explore, we’re hoping to support people in planning their full day out at Wimbledon with confidence and create a complete view of this impressive space for tennis.

From The Major Oak at Sherwood Forest to the shores of Loch Lomond in Scotland, RSPB believes in a shared world where wildlife, wild places, and all people can thrive.

At AccessAble, we’ve been working in partnership with the RSPB to create Detailed Access Guides for their major sites.

Within these Guides you will find information about toilets, changing facilities, parking, and details about the trails and terrain so you can make an informed assessment on whether that space is going to work for your needs.

Take the chance out of going out and visit somewhere new with the RSPB and AccessAble.

At AccessAble, a lot of our focus is on supporting venues to showcase their physical accessibility, but accessibility doesn’t stop when we enter online spaces.

On days like today, it’s important to recognise the significant role accessibility plays in the digital world.

As a society, we rely heavily on digital experiences every day. For many disabled people, these experiences can sometimes feel alienating when the right provisions aren’t in place to support equal access.

For businesses, there are some simple steps you can take to support digital accessibility if it’s something you haven’t reviewed in a little while.

1️⃣ Do the images I post have meaningful alt-text?
2️⃣ Can my website be used with a keyboard only?
3️⃣ Are videos captioned or transcribed accurately?
4️⃣ Is there sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds?

Small hygiene checks like these can make a big difference in helping disabled people navigate digital spaces more easily.

There are lots of resources available to support your digital accessibility journey, with the WCAG Accessibility Fundamentals being a great place to start.

Accessibility and healthcare are so important to go hand in hand.

Tracy Duckmanton, Patient Experience Manager at the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, recently joined the Access All Aerials radio show to discuss why access information is so important for hospitals.

At AccessAble, we’ve been working with the Royal Devon to produce Detailed Access Guides for their hospitals and sites, helping patients, visitors and colleagues plan their visit with confidence.

Often, mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression can come hand in hand with physical disabilities and chronic illness. People with a physical disability experience common mental health conditions at more than double the rate of those without.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, the theme is Action. For us, taking action means helping to remove uncertainty and making it easier for people to leave the house with confidence.

The exhaustion of planning journeys, anxiety around unfamiliar environments, and the worry of whether a public toilet will be accessible can create a significant mental load for disabled people every day.

Insufficient access and a lack of clear information can also lead to loneliness and isolation. Imagine having to miss out on a social event or day out simply because you couldn’t access the venue.

Venues and public spaces can take action to be more inclusive for disabled people. That action doesn’t always have to mean major change. Often, small actions can have a real meaningful impact.

Providing clear accessibility information, improving signage, offering additional seating, considering quieter spaces, or making small physical improvements can all help people feel more welcome and supported.

Knowing what to expect from parking and lighting to step-free routes and accessible facilities can reduce anxiety, support independence, and help people feel more in control.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, let’s take action together to take the chance out of going out, and help more people feel confident participating in everyday life.
