A disability expo will take place on the island on Thursday, February 11, and Friday, February 12, at the Cushag Suite at the Palace Hotel.
The event is being run by ‘Isle of Man Disability Info’, a non-profit company, which aims to bring together the island’s disabled resources.
Amongst the long list of exhibitors already signed up for the expo will be Circa and Shop Mobility, Manx Blind Welfare and Guide Dogs for the Blind, Manx Deaf Society, Manx Workshop for the Disabled, Manx Sports and Recreation RehabLab, and Excellent Ramp Systems.
The event will be open from 10am until 7pm on both days.
Owner and founder of ‘Isle of Man Disability Info’ Annabelle Pearce said: ‘The expo idea is something I came up with after seeing the ones they do elsewhere and how successful and useful they are.
‘There are many resources on our island, to help the disabled but very little in the way of joined up thinking, about how they can work together and help each other.’
