With funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Ramps On The Moon is delighted to continue their work of supporting anti-ableist practice within the performing arts sector, with recruitment of the second cohort of organisations for their Change Programme.
Prospective cohort members should contact Ramps on the Moon from the Change Programme page, or email directly to info@rampsonthemoon.co.uk.
"The Ramps on the Moon Change Programme has been the most enriching experience I've had for a long time"
Tom Bird, Chief Executive of Sheffield Theatres said:
“We’re delighted to further our relationship with Ramps on the Moon as hosts and key partners for the fantastic work they have done and continue to do in the theatre industry. Their invaluable knowledge and exciting ideas have enriched the work of many performing arts organisations already, so we are excited to bolster the next stage of their vital work and push forward in our own anti-ableist practises.”
Ramps on the Moon is delivering a programme co-designed and co-created with the sector. Designed to provide sustained and immersive support for performing arts and cultural organisations across the UK. With 12 months of intensive learning, workshops, mentoring, action learning, tools, resources and personal development, the Ramps change programme enables organisations to re-model, re-shape, realign, refocus and reimagine their futures with a focus on embedded anti-ableism. This programme is for organisations who are hungry to lead the sector to become more equitable, innovative, relevant, ambitious, creative and socially just.
Rowan Rutter, City of London Sinfonia said:
“Being part of this cohort marks a step-change for CLS. It’s not a one-off project, it’s a commitment to learning, change, challenge, transparency and collaboration. I didn’t wait for us to be invited in, I asked if we could join, because it felt too important an opportunity for us to miss.”
As a Change Partner, these organisations are committed to development, by broadening and deepening their commitment to change, so that disabled people are an integral part of the organisation. Find out more on the Change Programme page here.
