Calling Time - Evidence

Mathy Selvakumaran, Worksop

"I struggled to get information about disabled access at rock venues in Nottingham. The Sheffield O2 Academy advertises a disabled area but when I arrived I found a stool behind a ribbon so far back from the stage, and not raised, that I couldn't see anything."

"It really is shocking that as a young disabled person I'm denied the same leisure opportunities as my non-disabled friends. It's so difficult to find out if venues are accessible and then often when you've been told they are, you can't get in the building."
