Help Make Access & Inclusion to be the Norm, Sponsor the Blue Badge Access Awards, Launched 17 Oct at Olympia with Bespoke Access, Leonard Cheshire & Blue Badge Style, affectionately known as The Gang of Three!
Do you want to help change the world and make accessibility top of the agenda? Blue Badge Access Awards is aiming to do just that through celebrating exceptional venues & organisations that create inclusion & accessibility with 'style'. We are looking for sponsors and supporters who want to be involved in the only global awards that celebrate great accessibility and inclusion. (Please see contact details below for sponsorship packages).
Bespoke Access, Blue Badge Style and Leonard Cheshire Disability, each boast outstanding track records of championing accessible design and services, as well as affecting legislation, employment, and inclusion across all areas of society.
The objective of the Awards is to ensure all are welcome at venues and public buildings across the globe. Able-bodied or not, everyone should feel like a first-class citizen no matter where they are visiting, and no matter what disability, sight or hearing impairment, allergy or access requirement they may have
The aim is to inspire architects, designers, staff and proprietors to aspire to higher standards and have a desire to win one of the awards for ‘exceptional venues that have both accessibility and style’. The aim is to celebrate those places and organisations with great accessibility/inclusion rather admonish those who do not. The awards themselves range from most Inclusive Design (open to designers & architects) to Best Hotel, Best Employer, and even a People’s Choice Award.
Alongside technical solutions and forward-thinking design choices, the appropriate care and consideration from staff can make a hugely positive impact on the experience of anyone visiting a venue. The collective philosophy is that showing interest and commitment can be just as important as smart design.
The Awards are as follows:
- Most Inclusive Building/Interior Design Award/Prize - open to architects and designers
- Best Hotel x 2 (Upmarket and Boutique, Bespoke Award)
- Best Bar x 2 (Upmarket and Budget)
- Best Restaurant x 2 (Upmarket, The Conran Award and Budget)
- Best Accessible Toilet
- Ludicrous Loo
- Above & Beyond (Includes Hospitality & Corporates)
- People’s Choice Award
- Best Venue in a Listed Building
- Inclusive Employment Award (Leonard Cheshire Award)
- Employee of the Year (Leonard Cheshire Award)
