Supporting Inclusive Experiences
The Melville Age-Friendly Accessible Business (MAFAB) network consists of businesses committed to providing a supportive and inclusive experience for customers of all ages and abilities.
MAFAB businesses lead the way in being age-friendly and accessible, understanding the needs of their customers and
