Department of Work and Pensions: Countryside and heritage disability champion

Editor News

Are you a business leader? Are you passionate about accessibility? Do you want to encourage culture change within UK business? If your answer to these questions is yes, you could be one of the next disability sector champions.

The DWP is issuing a call for business people to become sector champions initially for one year, in each of  sectors including countryside and heritage.

The Champion will engage with heritage organisations and large countryside owners such as The National Trust, English Heritage and the Forestry Commission, to challenge the assumption that disabled people do not want to access the countryside/heritage venues and encourage greater awareness of accessible options for both heritage and the countryside.

It needs champions who are ambitious, passionate and dynamic, with strong networks and the ability to reach out to a wide range of organisations and to create momentum for change.

Completed expressions of interest are due back by midnight on 13 January 2019.
