Event Accessibility Consultant - The Not So Typical Concierge
Neuroinclusive event consulting and on-site support for organisers across the UK.
The Not So Typical Concierge is an event accessibility service for organisers who want their events to be genuinely open to neurodivergent, autistic, ADHD, and anxious attendees. I identify the barriers in your event, give you practical solutions you can actually implement, and - optionally - I'm there on the day to help attendees with anxiety, neurodivergence, or sensory challenges arrive, settle, and take part. I'm a neuroinclusive personal trainer, TEDx speaker, and competitive strongwoman based in Wolverhampton, working with organisers across the UK, and I'm autistic and ADHD myself.
Why event accessibility matters
Most events aren't inaccessible on purpose. They're built by people who've never had to think about fluorescent lighting, unstructured queues, or what happens when the only quiet space is a toilet cubicle. Around 1 in 5 people in the UK is neurodivergent - and most will quietly decide an event isn't worth the sensory cost long before they arrive. The barriers are invisible to organisers, until someone leaves without a word.
I help you find those barriers before your attendees do, and I give you practical ways to remove them.
Event accessibility consulting
I review your event - the venue, the schedule, the communications, the sensory environment, and the small assumptions baked into how it all runs - and I show you where the barriers are.
Then I give you concrete, achievable solutions: quiet spaces, sensory-friendly scheduling, clear pre-event information, flexible arrival, staff guidance. Not a 40-page audit you'll never read. A clear plan of what's working, what isn't, and what to do about it, in line with your duties under the Equality Act 2010.
What the Concierge includes
On-site accessibility support
Optionally, I'm there on the day as a dedicated point of contact for attendees who need one. I help people with anxiety, neurodivergence, or sensory challenges arrive, settle, and take part - the practical, human presence that turns "I don't think I can do this" into "I stayed the whole time."
That might mean walking someone in, managing a quiet space, or heading off the moments that usually make people bail.
Conferences, workshops, retreats, community events, fitness events, and meetups - anywhere people gather and some of them find gathering hard. If you want your event to be genuinely neuroinclusive rather than accidentally exclusive, this is for you.
Who the Not So Typical Concierge is for
Why you should work with Rhiannon for your event
I'm not a consultant applying a checklist from the outside. I've lived the thing I'm helping you fix. I know what it's like to scout a venue before committing, to need to know exactly where the exits are, to weigh whether an event is worth the sensory cost. That lived experience - combined with years of coaching autistic, ADHD, and anxious adults as a neuroinclusive personal trainer - means I spot the social and sensory barriers a standard accessibility audit misses, not just the physical ones.
How the Not So Typical Concierge support works
Tell me about your event and what you're hoping for. We'll talk through what you need; consulting, on-site support, or both, and I'll put together a proposal built around your event, not a fixed package. Pricing depends on scope, so it's quoted per enquiry.
