Grant for businesses to help make premises more accessible

The Department for Enterprise is offering businesses a grant to help them become more accessible for those with disabilities.

The Accessibility Grant gives companies up to £7,500 towards permanent modifications - for those who would like to make adjustments in line with the Equality Act 2017.

Dr Alex Allinson MHK, former Enterprise Minister said supporting businesses  is vital to ensure we meet the needs of everyone in our community and encourage inclusivity within our Island.

Impairments which affect accessibility are not always obvious, and this Grant has been designed to support all considerations, including mobility, visual, hearing, limited dexterity and hidden disabilities.
