Celebrating International Wheelchair Day 2024

A little while ago we were able to celebrate International Wheelchair Day at Ross Care.

We are in a privileged position to see first-hand the impact the wheelchair can have on improving lives.

Our celebrations involved the sharing of a series of short reflections from colleagues, Service Users & partners that highlight the positive impact of wheelchairs on individuals’ lives.

Steve Wilkinson established International Wheelchair Day with three primary objectives:

  1. To enable wheelchair users to celebrate the positive impact a wheelchair has on their lives.
  2. To celebrate the great work of the many millions of people who provide wheelchairs, who provide support and care for wheelchair users and who make the world a better and more accessible place for people with mobility challenges.
  3. To acknowledge and react constructively to the fact that there are many tens of millions of people in the world who need a wheelchair but are unable to acquire one.
