Nimbus Disability, the company behind Access Card, has been awarded a Queen\u2019s Award for Enterprise.<\/p>\n
The company is run by disabled people to help others have better access to entertainment venues and attractions.<\/p>\n
It has been recognised in the Innovation category of the Queen\u2019s Awards, for its work on the Access Card which informs of the holder\u2019s disability or impairment and access requirements. The card does this through symbols highlighting the barriers when attending an entertainment venue.<\/p>\n
Each symbol on the card is based on a person\u2019s individual rights under the Equality Act and how a service provider or operator has the legal responsibility to make adjustments to allow all to enjoy entertainment. The cards are discreet and eliminate the potential embarrassment of having to explain certain needs.<\/p>\n
The card is recognised by a number of major venues across the UK including Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, The London Eye, The O2 and Alton Towers. Attractions and venues abroad also include The Louvre in Paris and Willis Tower in Chicago.<\/p>\n
