Wiltshire Creative today announces that Hannah Treadaway returns to the theatre as the company's newly appointed Agent for Change as part of their associateship with Ramps on the Moon - an Arts Council funded consortium of UK theatres working to increase visibility and accessibility for D/deaf and disabled people on and off stage.

Hannah Treadaway said today, "Having enjoyed working with Wiltshire Creative many times in the past, I am really looking forward to working with the team as Agent for Change alongside the brilliant Ramps on the Moon."

Executive Director of Wiltshire Creative Sebastian Warrack commented, "At Wiltshire Creative, we are delighted to have been invited to be part of Ramps on the Moon - a consortium of organisations which enriches stories, by normalising the presence of D/deaf and disabled people on and off stage. As part of our work with Ramps on the Moon, we are thrilled to have appointed Hannah Treadaway onto our team as our Agent for Change. As a disabled director, Hannah Treadaway brings a wealth of experience and knowledge which will help us strengthen and broaden our engagement with D/deaf and disabled audiences and participants."

She is currently a Connect Artist at Regional Theatre Young Directors Scheme, a writer on Sphinx 30 with Sphinx Theatre and alumni of Graeae's Write to Play.

Wiltshire Creative's associateship will last until 2023 and as they have committed to a programme of organisational change including:

• Embedding Deaf and disabled people throughout their organisations.
• Putting access and inclusion on the agenda of all meetings.
• Creating long term employment and training opportunities for Deaf and disabled people.
