Help us meet the costs of running #AXSChat

Eight years ago, Antonio, Debra & Neil started AXSChat, an open online community of individuals dedicated to creating an inclusive world; we believe that accessibility is for everyone.

Social media has great power to connect people, and we hope to accomplish and encourage in-depth discussion and spread knowledge about the work people are doing to enable greater access and inclusion through whatever means.

We host weekly video interviews, podcasts and Twitter chats with people who contribute to making the world more inclusive through technology or innovation to enable wider participation in society for people with disabilities.

The topics are wide-ranging, and we want to encourage discussion and ensure everyone has a voice on social media. We encourage everyone to take part by tweeting and using the hashtag #axschat

You can always view hundreds of previous chats via our archive.

We caption our videos thanks to the support from our friends at MyclearText.

To keep AXSChat running and accessible takes more than just love; it costs money for tools, hosting, bought-in services and distribution. To date, we have been fortunate enough to attract corporate sponsorship to fund our work, but that sponsorship has now expired. We are looking to raise funds to cover our costs of production, update our website and stay on the air.

We recognise that many people in our wide disability community have very little money, so we do not wish to pressure anyone into making donations that they cannot afford but would encourage everyone to share the link and raise awareness so that we can raise funds and continue to deliver to the community for free.
