Where It Can Lead
A guest talk is often the starting point in a longer journey. After the session, many organisations continue working with us through one of the following:
Training Sessions
Interactive, ongoing training designed for your employees, delivered by facilitators with lived experience of disability. These sessions are shaped around your people, your industry and your goals — and typically form part of a longer-term partnership.
Launchpad Series
For organisations that know they need to do something but aren’t sure where to start. This pre-built series of 13 sessions covers the most common inclusion topics and helps you identify key gaps, ideal before moving into training or strategy work.
Project Based Consultancy
For organisations committed to embedding long-term change. From gap analysis to project-based consulting, we’ll support you to design strategies and implement solutions that remove barriers and support disabled people to thrive.

What Our Partners Say
Businesses we work with often say the biggest impact isn’t just what they learn, it’s how confident they feel applying it.
We provide purpose-built student accommodation. As a growing business, we have an ever increasing focus on giving managers the training to provide the correct level of support to Neurodivergent colleagues. Since working with Celebrating Disability, we have seen our managers feel more equipped to have conversations around this area. We look forward to continuing to work with Esi and the team as we understand the needs of our colleagues.
The professionalism of Esi and the team always meets expectations. They take the time to understand the training need and always adapt to deliver our objectives

Homes For Students
Esi was incredibly responsive to our original brief, and was able to adjust the plan for a session to better meet the need of attendees. Throughout our arrangement, Esi was always quick to respond and incredibly helpful - it was a delight working with you!
Music Mark is a UK subject association for music education. We approached Celebrating Disability to provide sessions for people teaching young people music in the classroom, and those delivering events, to support the range of requirements they might come across in their work and help make spaces as inclusive as possible.
We will look to develop this learning with our members and others working in music education, and consider how else we can support them to build inclusive learning spaces.

Training and Events Manager, Music Mark
Esi is an extremely warm and engaging facilitator who helped our team explore language, biases and the actions we can take to make our workplace and community events more accessible, engaging and inclusive. I would 100% recommend this training to organisations across all sectors.
