Our CEO Patricia was delighted to attend new All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Wheelchair Users at the House of Commons. This photo pictured shows Justin Jesudas of International Society of Wheelchair Professionals (ISWP) alongside Wheelchair Alliance CEO Nick Goldup who extended the invitation to BBS and Spinal Surgeon Mr Evan Davies.
There were some amazing speakers and everyone in attendance agreed that wheelchair provision is not only about equipment. Its about all aspects of everyday independence.
There was a unanimous sense of urgency regarding consistency of provision of access and calls for the wider community to help with gathering data. Brittle Bone Society (BBS) who have been assisting people with OI all over the UK to obtain the ‘right wheelchair for over 50 years’ were honoured to be involved and look forward to working with the Wheelchair Alliance.
