It was great to join Emily and Sarah at the Kidz to Adultz event at the Farnborough Airport Exhibition Centre on 12/05/26. What a fantastic event with so many exhibitors, organisations, and of course service users all coming together under one roof. Events like these are such a valuable opportunity to share information, make connections, and celebrate the amazing support available for disabled children, young people, and adults. Already looking forward to attending again next year!

The Kent and Medway Wheelchair Service is committed to supporting the health, wellbeing, and social inclusion of wheelchair users across our communities.
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.

“On a rainy September morning, I had the privilege of joining Nicola on a boat trip off the coast of Dover. As luck would have it, the skipper offered me the chance to steer the craft, and I eagerly accepted. Despite the less-than-ideal weather, I knew it was going to be an unforgettable experience..."
“It was my privilege to join Clive Bassant (Community Liaison and Engagement Officer) in being invited to attend the Wheelchair Rugby, International match between England and Wales on 24th August at Christchurch Sports Centre and witness first hand how exciting and physical wheelchair rugby is.
All the attendees, whether they were players or spectators, were treated to a very competitive game that reinforced what an impact a wheelchair can have. I was able to speak to some of the players and get a better understanding of needs and support that the wheelchair service could provide and I hope to be able to more involved at future events.
Congratulations have to go to the England team who won the tournament 6 matches to 1.”
