Growing Hope Accessibility Award

Demonstrate you are a church where everyone belongs

Growing Hope’s Accessibility Award focuses on being a church where everyone is seen, heard, and able to belong and join in

Additional needs are wide ranging, they include physical, learning, mental health and undiagnosed needs which can impact on anyone’s day to day activities. We may all have times where we require additional support to be able to participate as we’d like to in church community.

The Growing Hope Accessibility Award assesses and awards not only churches’ physical accessibility but accessibility according to all varied needs.

“At Alive Church we want to offer our best to every person in our community.

Growing Hope has helped us to begin the journey of making church accessible to people with additional needs and disabilities. The report we received was comprehensive and practical, helping us to think about what is going well whilst suggesting changes in a supportive way.”

– Rich Grant, Church Leader at Alive Church, Gateshead
