The Disabled Countryside Access CIC is where the fences are friendly, the wildflowers never judge, and every path leads to possibility (scenic routes better than most sat navs). #GlobalAccessibility #AccessNature #InspireAndExplore

Again last week, we had a wet experience when we made our sixth @TNLComFund funded film around Stoke Wood in Oxfordshire that is owned by the Woodland Trust considering from numerous perspectives what works when considering disabled access, and what can be made better.

The facilities are pretty good already,but there is the possibility of making it a more immersive and sensory experience. The film will act as a conversation starter,when bringing the community together as we endeavour to bring about positive change without it costing the earth.

Last week, on a rather wet day, we made our fifth @TNLComFund funded film around Spiceball Park in the Oxfordshire town of Banbury considering from numerous perspectives what works when considering disabled access, and what can be made better.

We’ve recently published two volunteer vacancies on the Oxfordshire Community & Voluntary Action website: a Volunteer Funding Researcher and a Volunteer Storyteller & Funding Bid Writer, both designed to help us share the story behind improving countryside access for the disabled

We’re deliberately trying a new approach because, if you keep doing things the same way, you tend to end up with the same results. #AccessWithoutLimits #CountrysideForAll #BreakingBarriersOutdoors #NatureNeedsNoBarriers

We have now successfully secured grant funding from the @oxfordshirecf, which makes three out of three successful applications, this is quite some success rate which we recognise is unusual but we see it as indicator that our project is ...

... understandable, clear, and run with clear business values. The non-profit sector could benefit from thinking like a business, and businesses could benefit from thinking like a non-profit. That we feel is where our success lies.

Improvements don't need to be costly, accessibility isn’t just about the site, engaging with info, or the facilities. It's about the disabled being listened to and having their own experiences and building their own memories.

This week we visited Abbey Gardens in Abingdon to make another @TNLComFund funded film that explores the disabled access from multiple perspectives.

We didn't criticise, but we gave an honest reaction to the good work that has already been done to see what works and what can be improved. Accessibility is not just a tick box. It's not just compliance.

Last Friday we added a sensory twist to one of the regular @MyVisionOx Green Walks in Didcot, because why simply walk when you can also sniff, touch, and listen your way through the countryside like a curious spaniel on a mission.

We explored the old railway line that once ran all the way to Newbury. These days it is less steam engine thundering past and more peaceful path where the loudest thing is someone’s rustling snack bag, but it still carries plenty of history… just no trains, thankfully.
