Access
An equal ability to access shops and public buildings is now demanded by law in the UK. If disability prevents you from doing this then some of these organisations may be able to help (also, click here for our page on mobility and aids to daily living).
If a lack of facilities or provision for disabled people is an issue then get in touch with your local Access group
