Funding for Heritage Ability has ended please follow Living Options Devon for more information

Heritage Ability is a Heritage Lottery Funded project working to improve accessibility and inclusivity at 20 heritage sites across the South West. Many heritage sites and collections work hard to make the heritage in their care accessible, but evidence from disabled and Deaf people (who use British Sign Language) suggests that there is more that can be done to improve access. Over the next three y

ears', we'll help heritage places with their pre-visit information, film BSL clips, create visual stories, large print and Easy read formats and provide them with all-terrain mobility scooters with support from the Countryside Mobility scheme.

Making heritage accessible for everyone

A project part of disability charity Living Options Devon.

The South West of England is brimming with heritage; from country parks, to historic houses, castles and rugged coastlines. It’s here to be enjoyed by everyone - but not everyone can.

Disabled and Deaf people (who use British Sign Language) struggle to experience these places because of physical barriers, a lack of accessible interpretation and untrained staff and volunteers.

That’s where Heritage Ability comes in. We’re unlocking the heritage at over 20 destinations across Devon, Dorset, Cornwall, Somerset and Gloucester so that disabled people and British Sign Language users can have engaging experiences with the places that we love. We’re creating Easy Read guides to large print formats, BSL tours and more - connecting people with places. It's thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund that we can make heritage accessible - for everyone.
