ACCESSIBILITY GUIDE

Autumn 2026

What is the Deal Speaking Up Group?

Deal Speaking Up Group stands up for disabled and non-disabled people who find it difficult speaking up for themselves, or they are unsure how to tackle barriers which prevent them from taking a full and active part in the community.

The highest priority of Deal Speaking Up Group is to help promote effective initiatives that serve the areas that need them most. We believe in taking action in order to raise public awareness.

We are a small community group with a big heart.
