Our kitchen is fully wheelchair accessible. We have an accessible toilet and counter-tops that can be lowered if needed. We also have stools available for anyone who needs to sit down during one of our sessions. If you're a member of the Deaf community and need a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter for any of our sessions, please reach out to us in advance and we’ll do everything we can to try and facilitate this. We value your feedback and are always looking for ways to improve. Let us know how we can make our space even more welcoming and accessible.
