Disabled people are
welcome to our church and activities
This page gives you an idea of the facilities relevant to
disabled people
Access
We are situated on a steep hill, and so our building has two
levels. Both levels however have ramp access. The lower level
includes the main worship area and the coffee lounge. The upper
area includes halls and the church office. The two areas are
connected by stairs internally, but by a sloping paved driveway
externally. There are no stairs within each level, apart from
the stage in the worship area. We have chairs rather than pews,
which enables wheelchairs to be accommodated in the body of the
church
Almost all doorways are wide allowing easy access.
Access is available from the road by a paved
driveway and footpath. The slope is fairly steep up from
Addington Road, and gentler down from Foxearth Road. Wheelchair
users may need assistance from Addington Road. Roadside parking
is usually available, although there are parking restrictions on
Addington Road.
Public transport is in the form of bus 64,
which stops close by, and buses 412, T33, 359 and 409 which all
stop within a quarter mile. Most London Buses are wheelchair
accessible - please check the
Transport for London site
There is very limited parking and turning
space on the driveway - please contact the
Church
Office (Tel: 020 8651 4308) for
advice.
Assistance
We have stewards available at Sunday services
who will assist you if required. If you have any special needs
please contact the church office so that they can look out for
you.
Toilets
Both upper and lower areas have a wheelchair
accessible toilet.
Printed Word
We have large print hymnbooks
available. In addition the words of most songs are
projected onto a screen at the front of the church.
Hearing Aid Loop
An induction loop system for the hard of
hearing is installed in the worship area.
Website
We try to ensure all pictures on the website have alternative
text, so that the site is accessible to the blind using
appropriate software, and can be navigated using the keyboard.
However, if you have problems, please email
We have also done some limited checking of the site for
colourblindness, and there do not seem to be usability problems.
If you do have difficulty, please contact the
webmaster . The following site
www.vischeck.com has useful information on colourblindness.
