Access Cornwall CIC is a disabled-led social enterprise.In practice, we help make Cornwall's places, services and information accessible to disabled and neurodivergent people and their families, so they can take part fully in community life. We do this through accessibility audits, training, accessible guides a one-stop website / app resource and community programmes, delivered by a team with lived experience of disability and neurodivergence. Any surplus is reinvested in our community purpose. During the financial year 2025-2026, the ACCESS CORNWALL C.I.C’s activities have benefited the community in the following ways: we supported 35 individuals with disabilities, neurodivergence and long term health conditions who were economically inactive. We provided training in accessibility reviews, employability skills and digital and creative skills. This supported some individuals into paid work or further education and it improved confidence and skills to help these individuals towards paid and volunteer work. We supported over 91 businesses and organisations in Truro and over 15,000 disabled residents by carrying out stakeholder engagement in and around Truro, providing accessibility training and resources, accessibility reviews and advice sessions with businesses and organisations around the town and a printed and digital accessibility guide. We produced an Accessible Guide to Cornwall which was distributed via 10,000 print copies and online to over 200,000 individuals who required accessibility information to plan visits around Cornwall. We piloted Experience the Town Differently Days with Councillor Steven Webb and gave key Cornwall Council leaders including the CEO, head of Highways and Transport and Head of Conserve a first hand immersive training day going around Truro in mobility scooters and wheelchairs and with vision impairment simulation goggles. We engaged with the local disabled community and partners in the Cornwall disability alliance to deliver this project. We carried out over 20 accessibility audits for organisations and charities around Cornwall, including Liskeard Library, Falmouth Art Gallery and Library and local parish halls and community centres. We continued to offer work experience to students at a local Special Educational Needs Schools and produced a magazine developed by and for SEND students on careers opportunities and information in Cornwall. We have worked as part of Cornwall Council SEND Employment Forum and Diversity to Thrive network to support individuals with Special Educational Needs and / or Disabilities into work opportunities. We supported the Cornwall Council Autism Strategy Group.
The company’s stakeholders are individuals who live with disabilities, neurodivergence and learning differences and their carers and also companies which offer hospitality and leisure activities in Cornwall. We continue to collaborate with other support groups and charities who support people with learning disabilities and health conditions as well as public sector organisations, such as Careers Hub and schools and colleges supporting those with SEN needs and the Autism Community of Cornwall as well as the Rolling Ramblers. We have also worked with businesses and organisations around Cornwall including the Cornwall Citizens Advice Bureau, providing accessibility training to staff. We have carried out a sustained and systematic engagement plan with these organisations and individuals, seeking input on our support and training and information service and, finding ways to support their networks and sharing our opportunities with them. We also gather feedback and implement continuous improvement to our online resource through feedback from our trainees and volunteers as well as other stakeholder organisations. We have reached over 500 companies and carried out social media campaigns to consult with companies who might promote their business on our website and share their accessibility information.
