WHY RAMPAGE EXISTS

Rampage was formed out of lived experience.

Despite disability rights being enshrined in law, thousands of venues across the UK remain inaccessible.

For disabled people - particularly wheelchair users - this means being excluded from ordinary parts of life: meeting friends, eating out, attending events, or even working.

The problem isn’t a lack of goodwill. It’s a lack of momentum, clarity, and practical support.

Rampage was created to change that –– by focusing on solutions, not shame, and by showing that access is both achievable and essential.

What We Do

Rampage turns awareness into action through a practical, street-level approach:

Many businesses want to do the right thing, but don’t understand their obligations under the Equality Act and assume change is expensive or complex.

  • Identifying venues that are inaccessible due to steps

  • Working with businesses to explore realistic ramp solutions

We focus on achievable changes that make an immediate difference.

  • Encouraging visibility — ramps should be seen, expected, and used

  • Celebrating progress and sharing examples of what work

Who We Work With

Real change happens when people work together.

Rampage brings together disabled people, businesses, public bodies and supporters who want to make access the norm, not the exception.

  • Disabled people who want equal access to public life

  • Businesses and venues who want to be inclusive and future-ready

  • Local authorities, business owners, and partners who can unlock change

  • Supporters and funders who want to back visible, practical impact

The Bigger Picture

Rampage isn’t just about physical ramps - it’s about changing expectations, so that access is no longer an afterthought, a favour, or a workaround, but a basic part of how spaces are designed and run.

We work to ensure that accessibility is prioritised at all touchpoints - licensing, planning, communications.

Because access is a right - and the Age of the Ramp is overdue.

Our Policy Position

Rampage supports the effective implementation of the Equality Act 2010 which places a legal duty on service providers to make reasonable adjustments to remove barriers that place disabled people at a substantial disadvantage.

This duty is anticipatory - meaning venues must consider accessibility in advance, not only when requested. Installing portable or permanent ramps is a practical, proportionate way for hospitality and cultural venues to meet their statutory obligations and ensure equal access to goods, services and public life.
