Embed Anti-Ableism. Shift Culture
Join a growing movement for anti-ableism across the arts.
We believe in a cultural sector where disabled people can develop ambition, learn, work, create, lead and flourish.
Achieving this requires more than individual projects or good intentions. It means looking honestly at the systems, cultures and practices that shape our organisations and imagining what could be different.
Jake Smith, Artistic Director and CEO Eastern Angles and Harry Tennison, General Manager, High Tide
The groundbreaking Ramps on the Moon Anti-Ableism Change Programme, delivered with People Make it Work, brings together senior leaders from across the cultural sector who are committed to making that change happen.
Through our cohorts, leaders come together to learn, reflect, question and share, building the confidence and understanding to embed anti-ableism at the heart of organisational culture and ways of working.
You don’t need to have all the answers. The power comes from learning and changing together.
Part of something bigger
Now entering its third cohort, the Change Programme is part of a rapidly growing movement of people and organisations working to shift the cultural sector.
Our cohorts create space for honest conversation, challenge, shared learning and new thinking. Organisations arrive at different points in their journey but share a commitment to creating a sector where disabled people can shape culture, not simply participate in it.
The learning travels between organisations, across artforms and into the wider sector.
What becomes possible
Embedding anti-ableism changes more than access. It changes who gets heard, who gets to lead, whose stories are told, what work gets made and who feels they belong.
When disabled people can tell their own stories, shape creative work, influence decisions and lead organisations, the whole cultural landscape becomes richer, more ambitious and more relevant.
The Change Programme offers senior leaders the space to supercharge their organisation’s journey, through a series of workshops throughout the year, alongside others who are asking the same questions and working towards meaningful, lasting change.

Cohort Partner Feedback
"It's one of the most empowering and joyous programmes I have ever had the privilege to attend"
"The National Theatre is thrilled to be a Change Partner with Ramps on the Moon. Working with the expert team at Ramps on the Moon is part of our commitment to embed equity and the Social Model of disability across our work. Their Change Programme is a core part of our dedication to ensuring deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people are a central part of our community, both as members of our organisation and as members of our audiences."
"Anti-ableism is now ever present in our strategic and day to day thinking"
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. It’s that energy of making sure we’re part of something, which we want to discover how to extend to people we haven’t worked with before, audiences we haven’t reached efore and stories we haven’t told before. Ramps on the Moon is the gold-standard; we’re delighted to be part of their cohort
Cohort Days!
It’s been a privilege to be involved and to benefit from the skill, experience and solidarity that Ramps on the Moon affords. This is vital work and it’s exciting to see how the next chapter unfolds.”
