Accessible britain handbook

Just stumbled across a link to this on another site and thought it was worth a share here... it's a handbook/guide to accessible days out around Britain. Not had chance to look at it in any detail but might be useful... http://www.accessibleguide.co.uk/downloads/Accessible_Britain_Book.pdf

accessible gardening

Morning all. No idea if there are any keen green-fingers amongst us but came across this site for a charity called Thrive who aim to help people with disabilities start or continue gardening and thought it was worth a share. http://www.carryongardening.org.uk/default.aspx

Fully Accessible outdoor activities - Calvert Trust

I meet so many people saying "I wish I'd found this place 10 years ago" or "when I was younger". I don't have MS but work with many people who do and after visiting conferences about "cures for MS" and "treatment", I thought what about quality, enjoyable experiences while they look for cures?

Hi guys, does anyone have experience of buying or using a WAV (wheelchair accessible vehicle)? I’m a bit unsure about how much effort it takes to put the scooter in the van and whether or not I’d be capable of doing it. So I was wondering if anyone else has used one before and whether the ramp mech...
