What an amazing Weekend Kids Club session! 🎈✨

A huge thank you to all the families who attended and helped make it such a fantastic day. We had an incredible time with the team from Funtastic-AMC, who provided lots of fun and excitement throughout the session.

The children loved exploring the balloon dome, showing off their glitter tattoos, and enjoying special visits from Peter Rabbit and Marshall from Paw Patrol! 🐰🐾

It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces, laughter, and families coming together to enjoy the day.

Great to see Tesco taking a meaningful step towards making cooking more accessible for everyone through its new "Now We're Cooking" campaign.

The initiative goes beyond advertising, addressing real barriers faced by disabled people in the kitchen by introducing accessible recipes, adaptive cooking tools, and inclusive design principles across the customer experience. The campaign also features accessible creative elements including BSL, audio description, open captions, and high-contrast visuals.

It's encouraging to see a major retailer recognising that accessibility isn't a niche consideration—it's good design that benefits everyone. The launch of 100 recipes adapted to meet accessibility standards demonstrates how brands can move from awareness to tangible action.

A strong example of how inclusion can be built into both marketing and customer experience from the outset.

Tesco has launched its ‘Now We’re Cooking’ campaign, which is designed to promote accessibility and inclusivity in the kitchen.
