Inclusion and Accessibility
Disabled, Neurodivergent D/deaf Rebels,
You may feel overwhelmed regarding how you will manage whilst on the busy streets of London. Our aim is to support each other and to help you find the access you may need.
Planning for The Big One
Transport To London
XRUK has set up a transport subsidy scheme to help with travel for those with access needs, including those with disabilities, who are neurodivergent, or have mental health needs. More information here
Accommodation
You can state your access needs on the forms when applying for camping or indoor accommodation. See the Transport & Accommodation page
