An accessible club night in Croydon.

WATCH: Croydon charity hosts club nights for DJs with learning disabilities

A Croydon charity is hosting club nights where DJs with learning disabilities and autism have the chance to show off their skills on the decks.

Club Soda provides an accessible approach to learning for creatives, under the guidance of their team of DJ tutors. 

Learning disabled adults often face barriers when trying to enter social scenes, like limited accessibility of venues and inflexible care support late into the night. 

Club Soda Project Manager Evie said: “I think the most important thing with access is not being afraid of that two way conversation and constantly improving.”

The club nights also bring together another arm of the organization, Gig Buddies, where adults with learning disabilities and/or autism are matched with a volunteer to get out and explore their local social scene.
