Access Support

Our commitment to accessibility and inclusion

Our vision is of a just society in which everyone can realise their potential and enjoy a fulfilling and creative life. To achieve this, we need to tackle inequalities head-on and use all of our resources to drive positive change, so a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) sits at the centre of our strategy.

We know that not everyone has the same advantages and opportunities – there is no level playing field – and we will work even harder to engage with individuals and groups who experience structural barriers, and to fund work that tackles root causes, structural and systemic inequality, and injustice.

If you find it difficult to apply for disability or any other reason, there are a number of ways we can help you.

Using our website

You may get a better experience of our website by customising it to suit your individual needs. For example you can:

  • make the text larger
  • get the site text read aloud to you

For guides about how to customise your experience, visit My Computer, My Way, a website created by AbilityNet. On that site you can learn about your computer’s accessibility features and useful software you can install. These are known as assistive technologies.

If you have feedback on areas of our website that are unclear, we’d like to know about them – please email communications@phf.org.uk

Applying for funding

We use an online application system.

Sample application forms can be downloaded as Word and large print documents to review in advance. We are working to introduce a wider range of alternative formats in the coming months.

If our application portal is inaccessible to you due to disability we will make reasonable adjustments as required, or we can offer a bursary of up to £500 to pay for an access support worker to help you apply – see Access Support Bursary for more details.

Visiting our building

At the moment visiting the building depends on government guidelines due to Covid-19.
