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.

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.
