How did Dining evolve?
The Dining concept came about after conversations between James Partridge, Phil Friend and Stephen Lloyd many years ago.
The project become a reality in 2000 with considerable help from the Employers’ Forum on Disability, the Board of (what was then) Consigna and Margaret Hodge MP, former Minister for Disabled People.  
The first dinners were “eaten” in the autumn of 2000, with the demand growing year on year.
“I attended a Dining with a Difference dinner mainly out of curiosity, but found the evening to be so thought-provoking that I organised a dinner for my colleagues at Arup.  It gave us a real-first hand insight into the needs of people with disabilities and has enabled our senior designers of built environment to think differently about their projects.”
