BBC Radio Essex tunes in to all things deaf access with Stagetext

Our Head of Advocacy and Engagement Rachel Jele was on BBC Radio Essex and spoke to Akylah Rodriguez about deaf access to arts and culture and how Stagetext’s funding from the The National Lottery Community Fund will help spread the word about accessible theatre and culture in the South East.

Rachel spoke about what accessibility personally means to her as a deaf person, what good access looks like, and how the funding will support our ambassadors to build relationships with communities across Essex and the South East to spread the word about accessible events.
