You either challenge them or you perpetuate them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramps on the Moon will take residency at Sheffield Theatres as they aim to go further in challenging anti-ableism and reviewing the social model of disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheffield Theatres were one of the original Ramps on the Moon founding partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was previously funded by Arts Council England for seven and a half years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs Taylor said: \u201cWe had seven and a half years of activity which was really fruitful, radical, effective, and brought about meaningful, significant change in the cultural sector for disabled people\u2019s equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt put disabled people on the map in a whole new way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image0-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image0-1-980x735.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image0-1-480x360.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the next two years, they will be working with two cohorts of organisations for a year each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will work with them on organisational change and development with disability equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The funding from the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation was granted just before Christmas, with Ramps on the Moon awarded the full amount that they asked for.
