Hi Marion
Please could you also send the references to me. It will be very helpful in
our work to improve access to sports venues especially football stadia
across Europe.
Many thanks

HI Marion,
I'd be interested in your references to Universal Design. We support
equality in the visual arts and are extending our flagship building to
include 30 more artist studios and an exhibition space in Wakefield. Design
in progress as we speak!
I'm particularly interested in design for mental health if you have any
references in relation to this.
Best
Anne

Hi Marion,
I would be really interested in the stuff on Universal Design you mention
below. I am doing some work on this for my job as Champion for Access in a
museum service. Anything you could let me have will be useful.
Thanks,
Paul
