Inclusion

Wellington Pride Parade is committed to making our events accessible for everyone, including disabled people. We aim to create an environment that is inclusive and welcoming, and we are working hard, and with community advisors, to design a programme that removes any barriers that may prevent people from fully participating. We will offer specific areas for wheelchair users and those who need a more lightly crowded area. Our team also works closely with local disability advocacy groups to ensure that our accommodations meet the needs of the community. In addition, we will provide a designated Accessible Viewing Area for those who require seating, which offers a clear view of the Parade.

We are committed to continually improving the accessibility of our event, and we welcome feedback from members of the disability community. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about accessibility at the Wellington Pride Parade.
