Become a member

Our community is stronger together, and working together makes our voices louder. We know how isolating and exhausting it can be to be a disabled campaigner. Our membership scheme brings together disabled people and allies, to support one another, and to share skills, knowledge, and contacts.

About membership

For forty years Transport for All have been the only community-led organisation campaigning for equal access to transport.

We’re a membership organisation – this means that members have a real say in what we do and how we work.

While everyone has full access to our casework service without becoming a member, by signing up you’ll be a part of our movement: we work with our members to fight for transport access, championing disabled and older people’s rights and providing an unrivalled community of support.

Why join us

It’s free, and it’s for everyone – disabled people, and anyone with an interest in accessible transport. It’s easy to sign up – fill in our short membership form and you’ll start to receive updates and information in your email inbox. You’ll be adding your voice to our movement, increasing Transport for All’s impact, and helping break down the barriers to travel that disabled people face. And by becoming a member you’ll have the chance to get involved with Transport for All in lots of different ways:

  • Information and events: you'll receive our newsletter full of information and analysis on services, policy and breaking news on accessible transport. You'll also receive invites to member events (online, onsite, and hybrid).
  • Share your story: you'll have the opportunity to join our pool of paid creators who write blogs, appear on our podcasts, and talk on our social media channels.
  • Take part in research: you'll be the first to hear about our research opportunities, including taking part in surveys, focus groups and consultations. 
  • Voting rights: you'll be invited to our Biennial General Meetings and elect members of our Board of Trustees. These meetings are a key opportunity to have your say on the direction of the organisation.
  • Fundraising: you’ll find out about new fundraising events and initiatives, and we’ll support you to fundraise for Transport for All.

Conditions of membership

Membership is open to people aged 18 and over who share Transport for All’s vision of transport justice for disabled people. Members of Transport for All are asked to support our pan-impairment and inclusive approach to making change. This means acknowledging that disabled people’s views, preferences and access requirements are diverse, and can sometimes conflict – so it’s vital that our membership is a space for a wide variety of opinions, voices and perspectives. In return, we commit to working with our diverse and brilliant community to shift attitudes, influence policy, and create meaningful change.
