How hard is it to walk through a door when you can’t see? 👀

Even with a sighted guide, the smallest details matter.

A simple tap on the door can tell someone exactly where it is, helping them hold it and move through independently.

Good guiding = good communication.

Give me Learn With ESS… but make it Northern 😂

A brand-new restaurant. Four entrances. Not one wheelchair accessible.

For Hammas, what should have been a meal out with friends became a decision to simply go somewhere else.

Accessibility isn’t just about getting through a door — it can determine whether someone feels welcome before they’ve even entered.

If everyone can’t get through the door, is it really open to everyone?

A last-minute platform change is frustrating… but what if you can’t see where the new platform is?

Passenger Assistance can make a huge difference for Azeem when travelling independently.

But when plans change, consistent support matters.

Sometimes accessibility is about making sure the system works when the unexpected happens. 🚆

Drive-thrus are all about convenience… but are they convenient for everyone?

For Zara, who has a hearing impairment and relies heavily on lip-reading, ordering through a crackly intercom can turn something simple into a real challenge.

It’s one of those everyday barriers you might never notice unless it affects you.

So how could we make drive-thrus work better for everyone? 👇

Inclusion works best when everyone is part of the conversation. 🙌

Front-of-house staff. Store managers. Delivery drivers.

Different roles and different experiences, all coming together for another Learn With ESS session with Carrs Pasties.

Plenty of storytelling, practical activities, conversations and laughs — but most importantly, learning that everyone can take back into their everyday role.

Another brilliant group. Already looking forward to the next one! 👏

Most people don't need more information. They need more conversations.

The most meaningful learning doesn't always happen through presentations.

It happens through honest conversations, shared experiences, thoughtful questions and listening with an open mind.

That's what we love creating.

Because when people feel comfortable talking openly, confidence grows, assumptions fade, and understanding takes their place.

Sometimes, one conversation is all it takes to change a perspective.

The right technology can be life-changing. 💻

In this video, our Learn With ESS Ambassador, Hammas, shares how a trackball mouse, an on-screen keyboard and speech-to-text software help him navigate technology and do his job every day.

Accessibility isn't about doing less—it's about making sure everyone has the tools to do their best.

Small adjustments. Big impact.

Hotels are designed to make guests feel welcome.

But have you ever stopped to think what it's like navigating one without sight?

One blindfold. One cane. One familiar corridor.

Within seconds, everything feels different.

That's why we believe the most powerful learning comes through experience. Seeing a familiar environment from a different perspective helps us understand how small changes can make a big difference to someone's confidence and independence.

💚 We'd love to bring this experience to your team.

Words. That. Matter.💚💙🧡
