In November 2025, Bullock Inclusion was proud to be part of Tech Share Pro, a global event advancing accessibility, technology, and inclusion. We contributed with two key moments: a panel with Samanta Bullock, Maxine Williams, and Robin Christopherson discussing inclusive leadership, and a mini fashion showcase featuring designers such as Yasmin Keats, Craig Crawford, Victoria Jenkins, and Hanan Tantush. Together, these moments highlighted how accessibility connects technology, fashion, and real lived experience. We are proud to help build bridges across industries and drive inclusion forward. #BullockInclusion #TechSharePro #Accessibility #InclusiveInnovation #DisabilityInclusion

Last week's digital skills session looked a little different… 🚂 In partnership with @bt_uk , we held a truly unforgettable “Training on Track” experience aboard a beautifully restored 1950s Pullman carriage on the Epping Ongar heritage railway. Alongside our brilliant trainers, volunteers and actress Melanie Walters, we supported older people to build confidence and stay safer online - all while enjoying a nostalgic day out. The feedback says it all: “Clear, relevant and practical advice delivered in such an engaging way.” “Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable - and the train journey was a lovely bonus!” Through our partnership with BT Group, we’ve now helped 14,000 people build digital confidence - and yesterday’s event shows just how creative and memorable this work can be. Read more about our work with BT Group and how you can help those you work with get free digital skills training on our website - link in bio. #DigitalSkills #Accessibility #ScamAwareness #TrainingOnTrack #BTGroup #MelanieWalters Alt text for images: A group of AbilityNet and BT Group staff stand on a train platform with older participants, all smiling up at the camera.
