Roughly a month away is Purple Tuesday – heard of it? The event, taking place on the 2nd of November, celebrates organisations for their efforts in making customer-service more inclusive. Companies of all sizes and all sectors are invited to register and commit to initiatives to increase accessibility: from learning British Sign Language, to completing an online Accessibility Audit, or customer service training for your team – 5000 organisations are taking part in the event already.
On November 2nd, you’ll be able to find us at The Beacon for a day full of inclusive sports and activities, to raise awareness of Purple Tuesday. We’ve joined Eastbourne Access Group for the third year in a row, and we are now set to attend alongside Care for the Carers, and Eastbourne Dementia Action Alliance.
And you can participate too, as a member of the general public. You can show your support by sharing posters and images on your social media, or by submitting your suggestions and helping employers with your insights. Follow them on Twitter and share the love with #PurpleTuesday2021!
As always, stay Defiant!
