AWARD winning charity Warrington Disability Partnership is launching another ground breaking event this weekend when a mobility show takes to the town centre.
The team behind the internationally recognised Disability Awareness Day, is launching the Warrington Town Centre Mobility Show on Saturday (September 25) from10am – 4pm. 
Dave Thompson MBE DL, Chairman of WDP says the show is a must for Warrington’s disabled and older community.
“ If you are disabled, an older person or a carer, this event will have something for you. The show will promote a great choice of mobility, healthcare and rehabilitation products, services, advice and information to ensure a more active and independent lifestyle,” he said.
The organisers have worked closely with the Town Centre Management Team, Golden Square and Warrington Retail Market to utilise the town centre area including the Old Market Place, the rear of Warrington Market, Horsemarket Street, Bridge Street and Buttermarket Street.
The event includes exhibitors from a variety of mobility sectors who will showcase their latest innovations and models – car manufacturers; conversion and adaptation specialists; wheelchairs, scooters, bikes and trike companies, and independent living products for the home; plus organisations offering information and advice on all aspects of mobility, accessible transport and holidays.
It is an excellent opportunity to compare the range of motor vehicles available on the national Motability scheme. Visitors can trial and assess wheelchairs and scooters on a test track that will be located in the Old Market Place and a separate area adjacent to the Market, at the rear of the old Boots store will be available to try a range of adapted cycles.
Dave added: “When town centre manager Nick White called to discuss the possibility of running an event in the Town Centre it felt like déjà vu. We had a similar discussion 19 years ago when Nick was the Manager at Walton Hall Gardens. The conversation led to the launch of the first Disability Awareness Day, which is now an annual event that has attracted interest from around the world. We hope to make this another successful event.”
