This is a church for all ages. It’s a good place to find out more about the Christian faith and how it connects with daily life. I attend this church every week, either online or in person. Eventbrite booking via website. Ramped access. Handrail at steps. Hearing loop. Amplification. Service streamed live on YouTube. Accessible fonts on display screen. Clear signage. Disabled toilet. Removable seats to provide wheelchair spaces. A person dedicated to ensuring accessibility and inclusion for all.

Good
There is a permanent ramp providing access to the side door proving access to the main sanctuary and the rear hall. There is an induction loop, plenty of seating. Projection of text is suitably large.

Good
There is limited parking next to the church in Murray Square and includes a disabled parking bay. The local bus bay is also at Murray Square with access to many local towns.
Accessible Toilets
Good
One disabled toilet in rear hall but it is also the only men's toilet. It has hand rails and space for manoeuvrability. It's clean and tidy.
