Spotlight on Film Crew 4u CIC: Amplifying Voices through the Power of Film!
Our Founder & CEO, Michael Osborne, had the privilege of speaking with Billy Stevenson, the visionary behind Film Crew 4u CIC, a full-service video production company based in Portsmouth. Beyond just producing amazing event and business films, Film Crew 4u CIC is deeply committed to creating content that uplifts marginalised and disadvantaged communities. They also inspire young filmmakers through engaging workshops, proving that storytelling can be a transformative tool for everyone.
Billy's journey is as compelling as his mission. Overcoming personal challenges, he found his passion for filmmaking and turned it into a force for good — empowering others to share their stories and see the world through a more inclusive lens. His work with communities, including people with disabilities, stands as a testament to the profound impact of authentic storytelling.
At Accessible Me Ltd, we believe that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) initiatives should be more than buzzwords. They should shape our actions, projects, and collaborations. Billy Stevenson's work embodies this philosophy.
At Accessible Me Ltd, we are thrilled about the prospect of collaborating with Film Crew 4u CIC to create our video-based eLearning content and promotional materials for our initiatives, including our A11yShip - Accessibility-themed Escape Room experience. Through their lens, we aim to enhance our mission of making all content and spaces accessible to everyone.
If you're passionate about true inclusivity, supporting creative organisations like Film Crew 4u CIC is exactly how we make meaningful change. Visit their website www.filmcrew4u.co.uk or check out their showreel to see the incredible work they're doing. https://lnkd.in/ehT2NScT
Together, we can amplify stories that deserve to be told and create a world that truly celebrates accessibility and belonging.

We’re almost one year into Accessible Me Ltd’s journey, and what a year it’s been! As we approach 2025, I’m thrilled to share my Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) for the year ahead: To empower 25,000 people to break accessibility barriers.
Accessibility isn’t just about compliance - it’s about creating environments where everyone can thrive. From workplaces to digital platforms, there’s still so much work to be done.
In this blog, I break down how Accessible Me Ltd plans to achieve this milestone. Whether it’s through delivering impactful talks, launching new resources, or partnering with organisations, every effort we make brings us closer to a more inclusive world.
But this goal isn’t achievable alone... I need your help!
Let’s work together to make 2025 a landmark year for accessibility.

Universal Human Rights Month is here, offering an opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come — and how far we still need to go.
Some of you may have seen posts about Disability Pay Gap Day last month. Did you know that disabled workers earn, on average, 17.2% less than their non-disabled colleagues? That’s equivalent to working the last seven weeks of the year unpaid.
At Accessible Me Ltd, we believe human rights include fair pay, equal opportunities, and accessible workplaces for all.
Let’s commit to building a future where these gaps no longer exist. Read more in our latest blog. https://lnkd.in/ene6tafy#UniversalHumanRightsMonth#DisabilityPayGap#AccessibilityMatters#InclusionMatters
