Breaking Down The Barriers - A Disability Awareness Event
To help people in Wiltshire learn more about people's needs, Wiltshire County Council has taken a lead and, in partnership with the four district councils, has set up a disability awareness event.
This event involves people with disabilities and their support groups from all over Wiltshire, all getting together under one roof. come and help us to Break down the Barriers on Monday 4 December in the Civic Hall, Trowbridge from 12noon - 6pm.
This date is timed to coincide with the launch of the Council Disability Equality Schemes on 4th December and the International Day of Disabled Persons on 3rd December.
As well as information displays there will be a programme of interactive disability awareness workshops, performances by a famous comedian, Laurence Clark, and disability-related activities/challenges provided by disability support groups, carers, disabled people, council staff and local businesses. The idea is to have fun whether you have a disability or not.
Everybody and anybody who lives in Wiltshire is invited to come and have a little fun and learn about disabilities. People can drop-in for an hour or two during the lunchtime, afternoon or after school or work.
Refreshments will be available all afternoon at very reasonable prices.
