What the petition asks
We want the UK Government to provide funding to make venues fully accessible to visitors and performers. This should include making stages, toilets, bars and viewing areas fully accessible to disabled people.
We need equality for disabled performers and visitors to venues.
Being a disabled music fan, producer & DJ in the local scene, I wanted to go to more gigs to hear my music live - this was when I realised how inaccessible the majority of venues are. I noticed even further when I started to organise & perform at shows - I quickly realised I couldn't get on stage and it was a struggle to find a venue that had wheelchair access for disabled audiences and performers.
