We've created Audio Inclusive environmentsfor over 10,000 people.

As Mayor of Hackney, I've always prided myself on our commitment to inclusion, but it wasn't until I learned about the impact of noise on the 30% of our community who are noise-sensitive that I realised we were failing them. Partnering with Sownd Affects is a step towards creating spaces that truly serve everyone - where people can feel welcome, comfortable, and valued.

Upgrading for Audio Inclusivity, we have had the best staff retention in 8 years! It's definitely something I'd apply to all venues & I'd recommend to other people to do it as well.
