AccessAble Guide for Lincolnshire

Lincolnshire Health and Social care services have been working with AccessAble to make accessibility to their sites easier for patients around Lincolnshire.

AccessAble, originally called DisabledGo, was set up in 2000 by Dr. Gregory Burke, as a result of his own experiences as a wheelchair user and disabled walker.

AccessAble gives accessibility information needed to work out if a place is going to be accessible. AccessAble have surveyed thousands of venues across the UK and Ireland, including shops, pubs, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, railway stations, hotels, colleges, universities, hospitals and more.

You can use AccessAble to find wheelchair friendly venues or check out disabled access and facilities.  AccessAble is Your Accessibility Guide.
