Access: Newcastle Cathedral (Exhibition)

7th February - 2nd April

Speaking Up Together Beyond Boundaries is a self-advocacy group led by adults with learning disabilities and autistic people from the local area.

The group first connected with Newcastle Cathedral in 2022 through a community singing group. Since then, they’ve become regular visitors, meeting at Café 16 in the Cathedral Refectory and leading creative workshops.

With support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, they developed a project focused on creating accessible workshops and resources.

They are now working on further accessible resources for neurodiverse visitors as part of the Cathedral Lantern Project, which aims to be a beacon for people navigating difficult circumstances in life.

This exhibition celebrates the group’s remarkable creativity, showcasing a selection of inspiring artwork and resources they have created.

The Speaking Up Together group is offering FREE accessible heritage tours for groups in March and April 2025, subject to availability.

If you’re interested in learning more, please contact Joanne at Speaking Up Together.
