About
BlindAmbition is an international disability inclusion consultancy focused on improving the lives of disabled people through training. We believe that people with disabilities should have an equal seat at the table with the rest of society. We also believe that disabled people have a key role to play in educating society about the wider benefits of inclusion.
There are two key strands to our work, providing services to both organisations and people with disabilities to help deliver our mission of creating inclusive futures. Our business to business strand, focusses on delivering disability awareness training and consultancy to organisations across all sectors. We also offer community-focused webinars and programmes to educate and upskill disabled people entering or re-entering the workforce and to help reduce the disability employment gap.
BlindAmbition is the brainchild of Managing Director, Seema Flower. As a blind woman, Seema was shocked at how often disabled people were overlooked in the working world, as customers and employees. She decided there has to be a better way. You can read more about Seema’s work here [Link to Seema bio].
During our 25-year quest to ‘Create Inclusive Futures’ for people with disabilities, there has been progress from enlightened organisations championing the benefits of disability inclusive business. Those organisations – including some of our valued clients – understand that if you serve disabled people exceptionally, then everyone else will benefit from easy to use products, processes and services.
And while we always help our clients to understand the ethical, moral and commercial reasons for delivering inclusive business, the UK’s Equality Act 2010 makes it illegal for employers, businesses and service provider to discriminate against disabled people.
“The Purple Pound – the consumer spending power of disabled people and their families in the UK is estimated to be worth £249 billion.”
But there is still work to be done to ensure that disabled people and their family and friends are able to do business with you. By starting with small changes, beginning with educating your people about the benefits of inclusion you can empower your disabled customers / employees and improve your bottom line.
