EVENT: Inspiration 4 Ability

 
Inspiration 4 Ability, in association with Able Magazine, is a new national event in the South West for people living with disabilities, their carers, families and health professionals.

There are many shows and exhibitions that focus on helping people with disabilities with day-to-day living but this event is about inspiring full and active living, with an exciting programme of speakers and performers.

Alongside Channel 4’s Katie Piper is Falklands Hero Simon Weston OBE and three times Gold Medalist Peter Hull. Liverpool comedian Laurence Clark will be performing his show “Health Hazard” that wowed packed audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  Lap slide guitar and singer/songwriter Tom Doughty is to speak and perform as well as Deaf Men Dancing, plus local groups Concordes Wheelchair dancers and Misfit Theatre. Many living with disabilities find doing art or engaging in performance a real liberation as Ruth Gould the CEO of Dada (Disability and Deaf Arts) will share. In addition a representative from WECIL will be speaking about the changes to benefits, alongside the latest news from health professionals. Ambassadors from Help for Heroes and a Military band will be opening the event on Friday morning. Formula One Experience who have an adapted formula one car simulation. There is also a fantastic chance to win a life-changing trip on a tall ship, courtesy of the Jubilee Sailing Trust.

Bristol’s UWE Exhibition and Conference is great venue, loads of parking and facilities and has good access off the M4 and M5.
