Organiser of Blue Badge Access Awards

Three partners have come together to create the only global awards ceremony that celebrates venues & organisations that have exceptional accessibility & style….

Blue Badge Style is the UK’s first and only app and website guide to help the less-able lead an exciting social life, because style and disability are not mutually exclusive. Established by Fiona Jarvis in 2012, it aims to give its community a positive, stylish and cool experience, wherever they go or whatever they do. Fiona first realised she might have MS when she kept falling off her high-heels! That was over 25 years ago and today she uses a wheelchair to glide through life.

Bespoke Hotels have created a design award so that every visitor to a hotel feels like a first class citizen. Architects and designers can submit their ideas in January 2020 for a cash prize. More information will be made available at the Awards ceremony.

Leonard Cheshire are a charity that support individuals to live, learn and work as independently as they choose, whatever their ability.
