Building an Accessible Community
summary
WordCamp London 2016 treats accessibility as concrete choices: it pays about child care £2,000 for a creche (one child used it in year zero but continuity builds trust), spends live captioning £5,000 for stenographers that actually capture accented and fast speech, and orders signage £3,500 plus bunting to make navigation readable for 660 attendees. Organizers add lactation and quiet rooms, vetted professional creche staff, degendered stalls with £50 life‑essential boxes, and adjusted scheduling and socials — the features work and increase attendance and trust.
