Supporting Accessibility in Bodmin: Free Disability Awareness Training This June

We have partnered with Access Cornwall to offer free Disability Awareness Training for businesses and organisations in and around Bodmin.The training is designed to help local businesses and community organisations become more accessible, inclusive and welcoming for disabled customers, visitors and colleagues.

Why inclusion benefits your business

Becoming more inclusive helps businesses to access the Purple Pound by making it easier for disabled people to shop locally, visit venues, and recommend services to others. Inclusive businesses are more likely to:

- Attract new customers and retain existing ones

- Increase repeat visits and customer loyalty

- Receive positive reviews and recommendations

- Strengthen their reputation as welcoming and community‑focused

- Support local economic growth while meeting social responsibilities

Accessibility improvements often benefit many other customers too, including older people, families with pushchairs, and people with temporary injuries.

What the training covers

The CPD‑accredited session provides practical guidance to help participants:

- improve confidence when supporting disabled customers and colleagues

- Understand and reduce barriers in customer‑facing and workplace environments

- Create a more welcoming and inclusive experience for everyone

- Strengthen your business by reaching a wider customer base

The training is suitable for shops, cafés, hospitality venues, offices, attractions, and community organisations in and around Bodmin.
