Disabled Go: is the place you’re going accessible?

Being disabled can make a person think twice before going anywhere.  Is it going to be accessible?  Am I going to be able to enjoy and take advantage of the facilities?  Is it worth me bothering?

Having this kind of information before visiting somewhere can be invaluable to help prepare you and avoid disappointment.  It can be all too easy to put off a trip because you’re unaware if it will be worth going if your disability is going to be a major disadvantage or you’re nervous how you’ll cope.

The web site Disabiled Go can help.  It is a online resource listing detailed information on the access to a wide range of places such as hotels, restaurants, education establishments, tourist attractions, libraries, hospitals, local services and more.  All venues are personally visited by the Disabled Go surveying team and lists information from facilities for the disabled to details of toilet facilities, or even the surface of the car parks.

Using an easy interface, the site covers all aspects of things that could be a problem for people with all kinds of disabilities and could help in making decisions on whether it’s worth visiting somewhere or even deciding to go somewhere you thought wouldn’t have been an option before.


Disability Go also lists jobs, has news of events and disability issues as well as a discussion forum.

The site doesn't cover everywhere but is growing and constantly being added to.
