A WEEK of activities will be held in Warrington to mark the 20th anniversary of the North West Disability Awareness Day (DAD).
Last year’s DAD saw a record number of 28,000 visitors, many travelling from across the North West and the UK.
DAD 2011 will be supported by a week of complementary events, leading up to the exhibition on Sunday July 10. Events will be held in a tented village in the picturesque setting of Walton Hall Gardens.
The day has continued to grow with the support of both local and national organisations. It boasts something for everyone with more than 300 exhibition stands promoting independent living, with areas dedicated to arts, sports and family entertainments.
DAD covers all disabilities, ages, carers and families, and there is plenty to interest those working in health, social care or disability. It offers a free and accessible park and ride service, free admission and programme.
Further information is available by visiting www.disabilityawarenessday.org.uk or by ringing 01925 240064.
