Gama 2011
We are busy getting ready for this summer - it is early days and people seem to be just waking up after the winter, and we are beginning to get involved in quite a few festivals and events.
Brighton Pride 2010
Brighton Pride this year made serious efforts to improve access for disabled people to both the parade and the event in Preston Park which was attended by an estimated 160,000 people.
A Festival Of Support
I want to tell everyone about a wonderful organisation called Green Access & Mobility Areas (GAMA). This inspiring volunteer group is devoted to helping people with disabilities go to outdoor festivals. Not only do they advise festival organisers on access issues and how to make spaces and activities more welcoming to people with disabilities and chronic conditions, but they set up camp too in order to provide on-the-spot support, assistance and general back-up for disabled people and their friends/family/carers.
Festivals Update – Spring 2010
After the longest winter in memory & what seemed like a slow start to the year, the season for GAMA and summer festivals is now gearing up nicely. Here's our spring update on what Gama have got planned so far for the coming year.
