Dis-labled - Community Focus Arts Radio
Welcome to Dis-labled, the magazine show that amplifies voices, challenges stereotypes, and celebrates ability over disability. We're here to break barriers, share stories, and remind the world that we are more than labels. It's time to listen, learn, and redefine what's possible.
Community Focus is an inclusive arts centre for adults and young people with additional needs, including learning, physical, mental health, and autism. Serving the London Borough of Barnet community since 1978.

Ep 37: Are Gigs Accessible to People with Disabilities? Plus the Return of Poetry Corner!
In this episode, we dive into the world of live music to ask: are concerts and gigs truly accessible for people with disabilities? We share some of our own experiences to find out.
We also reflect on our visit to CJ’s Bakery—where delicious cakes are made with care, and meaningful employment is offered to a brilliant team of people with learning disabilities. And finally, Poetry Corner makes its return! This week, our featured poets are Carol and Babak.
