We are opeining up the opportunity for you to join Ramps on the Moon’s groundbreaking Anti-Ableism Change Programme – to be be part of a rapidly growing movement with a third Cohort of senior leaders from across the cultural sector. The Cohort meets monthly throughout 2027; the programme will give you the platform to learn, reflect and develop practical approaches for creating meaningful, lasting organisational change where disabled people can thrive.

This programme is designed to supercharge your organisation’s journey towards embedding anti-ableism into your culture, leadership and ways of working.

You do not need to have all the answers. What matters is a commitment to listen, learn and lead change.

The first cohort of the Ramps on the Moon cohort - about 25 people - are all gathered as a crowd in front of a floor to ceiling black curtain. They are all holding a placard in a silent protest against ableism.

You are now invited to submit your Expression of Interest for the programme:

To be considered, please send us a statement of no more than 300 words telling us:

  1. 1: Where you are up to in your anti-ableism journey (don’t worry, we won’t be put off if you are right at the beginning).
  2. 2: What you would like to get out of being part of the cohort.
  3. 3: The names and job titles of the two executive/senior leaders you are nominating to take part.
  4.  

Deadline for applications: 1 Dec 2026 10:pm
