One of the UK’s largest free events dedicated to children and young people with disabilities and additional needs is returning to the South this spring – and celebrating 25 years of supporting families along the way. Kidz to Adultz South will take place at Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre on Tuesday 12^th May 2026, welcoming families, carers and professionals from across the region for a day of expert advice, practical support and inclusive opportunities.

Thank you to the team of Active Kent and Medway for inviting me to their meeting at Shorne Country Park, to talk about the essential work that RossCare Wheelchair Service does, and why it important to ensure activities are inclusive to wheelchair users.

Another day another event, on the 04/12/25 Nicola and myself attended the Medway Physical Activity Alliance Conference, not just an opportunity to tell the world what a great job Ross Care is doing, but also taking time to encourage other sector services, groups and clubs to make their offering fully accessible to wheelchair users.
