WEAVE Accessibility Statement
Effective Date: 23 March, 2026
At WEAVE (Intercultural Church and City Transformation Gathering), we believe every person matters. Our commitment to intercultural unity includes ensuring that our gatherings, platforms, and resources are accessible to all—regardless of ability, background, or circumstance.
Accessibility is not an afterthought. It is part of how we build community.
1. Our Commitment
We are committed to creating environments—both physical and digital—where everyone can participate fully, contribute meaningfully, and feel a true sense of belonging.
We aim to remove barriers and make reasonable adjustments wherever possible.
2. Physical Events and Gatherings
For our in-person events, we strive to:
-
Use venues that are wheelchair accessible
-
Provide step-free access where possible
-
Ensure access to accessible toilets
-
Offer clear signage and guidance throughout the venue
-
Create spaces for rest, reflection, and quiet where needed
Where possible, we also:
-
Accommodate dietary requirements
-
Support individuals with additional mobility or assistance needs
3. Communication and Inclusion
We recognise that communication is key to accessibility. We aim to:
-
Use clear, simple language in our materials
-
Provide advance information about schedules and sessions
-
Offer inclusive and culturally sensitive content
-
Ensure speakers and facilitators are mindful of diverse audiences
Where possible, we will explore:
-
Captioning or transcription of key sessions
-
Translation or interpretation support
4. Digital Accessibility
For our website and digital platforms (including WEAVE Mirror), we are working towards:
-
Readable text with good contrast
-
Simple navigation and clear structure
-
Compatibility with assistive technologies
-
Accessible forms and user journeys
We are continually improving to align with recognised accessibility standards.
5. Ongoing Improvement
We acknowledge that accessibility is a journey, not a finished task. As WEAVE grows, we are committed to learning, listening, and improving.
We welcome feedback from participants, partners, and communities to help us do better.
6. Requesting Support
If you have specific access requirements or need support to participate in a WEAVE event or programme, we encourage you to contact us in advance.

Please let us know how we can support you—we will do our best to make appropriate arrangements.
7. Our Heart
WEAVE is built on the belief that we are all made in the image of God. Accessibility is not just about compliance—it is about dignity, welcome, and honour.
When one person is excluded, the whole community is diminished.
When everyone is included, something beautiful begins to emerge.
