Excited for the first ever LBB Accessibility Consultation! In an effort to make their space accessible as possible, Goodwood Museum and Gardens reached out to us and requested an Accessibility Consultation. We were thrilled to oblige! We were provided a private tour of the buildings and grounds, and we offered suggestions and recommendations throughout. Goodwood Museum and Gardens is our Blind Friendly Business Training workplace location for July, and we are excited to return to provide this valuable training to their staff and volunteers. If you would like us to provide this training to your staff, reach out to us! #seeingindependence #goodwoodmuseumandgardens #accessibility #AccessibilityMatters Image description: LBB's Tina Torrance and Jennifer Stephens stand with Goodwood's Stephany Cecil.
