The Parks Trust’s volunteer Access Ambassadors have made it through as finalists in the Community Group category of this year’s Scope Awards.
The awards celebrate those working to end disability inequality, amplifying disabled voices and building a movement of change.
As a diverse panel of individuals with personal experiences of disability or caring for loved ones with disabilities, the Trust’s Access Ambassadors volunteer their time to help advise the charity on making MK’s parks more accessible.
Their work has aided improvements to park infrastructure, signage, and event planning, and they’ve co-designed solutions such as wheelchair-friendly benches and handrails.
“We’re so proud to see this incredible group of people recognised in these inspiring awards!” Said Ellie Durrant, Landscape Development Officer, “Our Access Ambassadors initiative gives our team amazing support and advice to improve Milton Keynes’ parks, and through important collaborations we’re also helping to set the direction for what accessible green spaces should look like at a national level.”
