Get the Go-Ahead are running a series of focus groups with Disabled young people to better understand how youth organisations and support services can be accessible and welcoming for Disabled young people.
✨Come to one 2-hour focus group online or in person
✨The focus groups will be facilitated by two Disabled facilitators
✨You’ll be asked questions about accessibility, what makes an event or organisation welcoming for you, and what you want people who work with Disabled young people to understand.
✨Paid $150
✨Open to Disabled young people aged 18-25
✨Disability is a broad category, and we know people might use different language to describe themselves. In this project we recognise a broad definition of disability, including physical disability, intellectual disability, neurodivergence, mental illness, chronic illness, cognitive disability, and sensory disability.

All focus groups cover the same topics, come to the one that suits you best:
