Welcome to the new-look web site
We are currently upgrading the accessibility and increasing the information and facilities.
Please bear with us for a short while if the information you are seeking is not available immediately.
New Facilities
This is where to come for the latest news and events.
It will be regularly updated with the latest goings-on at Gateshead Access Panel
and beyond and we have also introduced a 'Community Page' where you can post information from your own organisation.
We always welcome suggestions from visitors on how to improve the site, especially if they are to do with usability or accessibility. So if you have any
ideas or problems just e-mail steve@access-gateshead.org.uk
Advice Information and Support Service
Our new Advice, Information and Support Service is now up and running. The service, organised by disabled volunteers who are supported by
GAP workers, offers
support to disabled people and their carers in their dealings with for example Social Services, housing, transport and education.
Please select
this link to go to the Advice Information and Support Service page.
GoldStar At GAP
We at GAP are pleased to announce the launch of our good practice manual on the recruitment and support of disabled people in volunteering opportunities. 'Practice to Include' is available now!

GAP page
'Designing to Enable'
We are still struggling to get the updated version finished and out there. If you are one of the inquirers who want a copy of the new book please
be patient a little while longer. We have your details and hopefully it won't be too long. There are still CD versions of the original book available
but no hard copies.
Accessible Web and Media Design
Gateshead Access Panel now provide accessible web site design services. Despite the introduction of the
DDA, the majority of web sites are inaccessible to many disabled people. Don't be caught out.
Your organisation or company could be the next one in court!
