Queer & Accessible

The Queer & Accessible (Q&A) Project ran from 2022–2025. It connected LGBTIQ+ people with disability to the broader queer community. We supported queer organisations to plan and promote inclusive events. We also strengthening accessibility for people with disability. We are exploring funding opportunities to revive this initiative.

Experts by Experience

The Q&A Project is led by a team of queer people with disability called the Experts by Experience (EbE) Team. The EbE Team have shaped the project from the very beginning by sharing their lived experience of accessing the queer community.
