SUMMARY:Disabled Entrepreneurs Networking
DESCRIPTION:A friendly\, supportive and productive monthly virtual networking meeting for entrepreneurs with any form of disability or health issues. \nThis is a regular opportunity to bring together business owners with any form of physical or mental health issues to network together\, advise each other and build up contacts across the whole of the UK. \nThe monthly online networking session will feature a short 10 minute talk by a speaker with a health issue – or someone who is an advocate for those with a disability – before we go into breakout rooms so attendees can network with one another in a friendly and supportive environment. \nSpeaker \n \nThis September\, our guest speaker is Chris Naylor from Bnode who will be sharing how organisations can build digital spaces that are open\, fair\, and accessible to everyone. \nWhat barriers do disabled people (including those who are neurodivergent) face when using websites\, completing online forms\, or joining virtual events? These barriers are not minor\, they can block people from accessing your services and opportunities. \nChris is an expert in digital accessibility. Through Bnode\, he has developed tools and strategies that put inclusion at the centre of digital design. His mission is clear: “Digital Done Right”\, a commitment to ethical\, sustainable\, and accessible digital practices. \nAttendees will gain: \n\nInsight into common accessibility barriers and how they impact users.\nQuick wins you can apply straight away\, from better labels to accessible colour choices.\nThe benefits to your business for being more inclusive.\nResources and approaches to embed accessibility in your digital work long-term.\n\nYou’ll leave with a heightened awareness of digital inclusion\, the knowledge and confidence to spot barriers\, and how and why to start embedding accessibility into your organisation’s online presence. This is about more than compliance\, it is about fairness\, usability\, and building digital spaces that welcome everyone. \nThese virtual networking meetings are part of the FSB’s ongoing Business Without Barriers campaign which aims to encourage inclusive\, supportive workplaces and offer advice for the country’s army of disabled entrepreneurs. \nThis free #FSBConnectOnline networking is open to all businesses – both FSB members and non-members are welcome to attend\, so please feel free to share with your networks. \nPlease note that subtitles will automatically be enabled for this virtual networking event. \nWe look forward to seeing you! \nOur events and activities\, including those focused on a specific issue or equality characteristic\, are open to all. We encourage shared learning\, wider conversations\, and a collective responsibility to inclusivity through allyship\, where marginalised groups are supported by others. \nImportant Notice: \nPlease be advised that bookings will close 70 minutes prior to the event start time to allow sufficient time for customer service support. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
