International Wheelchair Day

What would your world look like without the ability to move freely? International Wheelchair Day is a chance to think about how wheelchairs are more than just tools, they’re lifelines that empower people to live independently and on their own terms. It’s a day to celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of wheelchair users, while also reminding us of the ongoing need for inclusivity and accessibility in our communities.


Wheelchairs are not just mobility aids; they are instruments of independence, allowing access to education, employment, and leisure activities. Acknowledging this day promotes a better understanding of the challenges faced by those with mobility impairments and advocates for more accessible environments and policies. It emphasises the need to break down societal barriers and create a more inclusive society, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their physical abilities, can get involved, feel seen and contribute to their communities.
