About us

We offer a journalism training programme that’s:

- by email, at your own pace
- with support and feedback from our editors.
How to contribute
If you’re already confident producing accessible content and reviews, please send an email with some examples of your work to contributor@rampitup.online

Who’s behind it?
Ramp It Up has developed from the Access Arts for All online journalism programme.
Participants wanted a platform to share their experiences and provide an insight into accessibility from a lived experience perspective. Michelle Stannard and Emily-May Palmer run the site, with support from Laura Graham, Ayesha Chouglay and Co-relate Communication.
Ramp It Up and Access Arts for All are funded by Arts Council England.
