Inclusive Action Group (IAG)

Opportunities to meet a wide range of like-minded people involved in all aspects of inclusion and public spaces are few and far between. The IAG gives you the chance to share ideas, gain new perspectives and look at examples of good practice. The IAG offers a mixture of talks, activities and site visits 3 to 4 times a year. The Inclusive Action Group is a collaborative organisation designed to be open to anyone so there is only a small charge for each meeting to cover catering costs. The IAG has an international membership and meetings take place at venues around the UK. All members have the opportunity to suggest topics, make presentations, lead activities or provide venues for meetings.

Next meeting

The Sensory Trust team members who are responsible for coordinating the IAG are currently exploring uncharted areas of the Amazon basin, looking for possible venues and contacts for the next meeting. The IAG will recommence should they return from their perilous mission. Contact with our intrepid explorers is patchy and in their last wireless message, from a village approximately 300kms south of Manaus, they gave no date for the recommencement of meetings. Before they were cut off they managed to say they were missing everyone though. Which was nice.

Join our mailing list to receive notice of our next IAG meeting, or keep an eye on this page for further details.
