Our Partners

Disability Collaborative Network (DCN) is a group of committed museum professionals who work to promote and embed inclusive practice in the heritage and cultural sector.

Since 2015, DCN has developed relationships with people with disabilities and professionals across different industries and sectors to learn what it takes to create sustainable change in embedding inclusion and accessibility.  

DCN joined EMBED in 2019 and our joint goal is to support museums and heritage organisations of whatever size and budget to develop and deliver sustainable business change, change that shifts the culture of an organisation to becoming inclusive for its employees, voluntary staff, and visitors.  

Future Me Coaching was created in 2021 to help clients to reduce the noise to find clarity, create a compelling action plan, and break down the barriers to success. 

Future Me Coaching is led by qualified coach and mentor Gwenda Connell who has a wealth of experience gained in business transformation, service delivery and personal development.

"Coaching works because it’s all about you. When you connect with what you really want and why – and take action – magical things can happen."  Emma-Louise Elsey

HSG UK Ltd, specialises in washroom water conservation and recently gained The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation.  The company has used its experience in the industry and passion for improving washroom standards to develop and launch 'Cleen '- the UK’s first fully integrated washroom facilities management tool.  

'Cleen' is the ‘Trip Advisor’ of washrooms – recognising that customers judge a business, particularly serving food, by the cleanliness of its washrooms and that many people have specific needs when visiting a venue, for example how accessible are the facilities for disabled people.

We are proud to partner with HSGUK Ltd in the delivery of our access audits.
