Donna Hardwick is a Centre for Accessible Environments (CAE) trained access auditor with extensive experience supporting tourism, heritage and major events organisations across the UK. She has supported the delivery of accessibility projects for VisitEngland, Visit Worcestershire, Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, the Brontë Parsonage Museum, the National Coal Mining Museum and Murton Park, bringing clarity, rigour and sector specific insight to every project she undertakes. Her recent work also includes advising some of the UK’s largest events, such as Hyde Park Winter Wonderland and Taste London, where she has helped organisers strengthen their approach to accessibility and inclusion.

Donna’s expertise is shaped not only by her professional training but also by lived experience. Having supported a close family member who was a wheelchair user, she brings a deep personal understanding of the barriers people face and the practical solutions that genuinely improve comfort, dignity and independence. This combination of technical skill and lived insight informs her approach to access auditing, enabling her to identify issues that others may overlook and to recommend improvements that make a meaningful difference to disabled visitors.

Donna is known for her thoroughness, her practical mindset and her ability to translate complex accessibility requirements into clear, achievable actions that help organisations create welcoming, inclusive environments for all.
