We enjoy working with a large variety of groups locally within Renfrewshire and nationally covering Scotland. Renfrewshire Access Panel is a diverse access panel looking to work with everyone to ensure that our aim of making Renfrewshire accessible for all is obtained as soon as we can.
We work closely with Renfrewshire Council on many projects and currently provide the council with their equality outcomes.
OCS provide passenger assistance at Glasgow Airport which is only one of the UK airports they support, we have recently supported them during Disability Awareness Month by providing information to stakeholders, staff and passengers within Glasgow Airport. The event was a great success and many of the airlines would like to hold this event again in the near future giving staff more time to obtain information.
Renfrewshire Access Panel have an office base within Paisley where we work with the Third Sector Interface, Engage Renfrewshire where both the access panel and Engage Renfrewshire provide one another with great support which is greatly enhanced by being in the same building as we rent our offices from Engage Renfrewshire.
If you would like to know more about what we do, why not visit our Gallery. There you will find projects we have been involved in and examples of the positive changes we can make when we work together.
