Accessibility at Cromwell Hall Christian Fellowship

At Cromwell Hall Christian Fellowship, we want you to feel comfortable, welcome, and able to take part in the life of our church. We recognise that everyone’s needs are different, and we want to make visiting us as straightforward and reassuring as possible.

Whether you have physical, sensory, neurodivergent, or cognitive needs, you are very welcome among us. We understand that visiting somewhere new can sometimes feel daunting, particularly when you are unsure what to expect. We hope the information below will help you plan your visit with greater confidence and peace of mind.

Getting Here and Parking

Parking

Parking Area

Our car park is very close to the building. From the far end of the car park to the rear entrance on the driveway side of the building is less than 25 metres, making parking and drop-offs as convenient as possible. Vehicles can stop close to the step-free entrance temporarily to drop off or collect someone, although please move on as soon as possible to enable others to arrive or leave.

Public Transport

Public Transport

If you are travelling by train, please be aware that Levenshulme railway station currently has 46 steps between street level and the platforms. All local bus stops are fully accessible.

Entering and Moving Around

Entrances

Entrances

A step-free entrance leads directly from the car park and driveway into the main hall, with only a very slight slope. Our main front entrance has two steps, as well as a third step up from the pavement, so the car park entrance along the driveway is the easiest route if you require step-free access.

Inside the Building

Level floors

Once you are inside, all our facilities are on one level, making it easy to move around the building without needing to use stairs.

During the Service

Seating

Please sit wherever you feel most comfortable. We do not have reserved seating, so you are free to choose the place that works best for you. We can move seats if needed and can accommodate mobility aids quite easily.

An induction hearing loop is fitted throughout the main hall to help you hear the service clearly. If you use a hearing aid, simply switch it to the ‘T’ setting.
