Disability Awareness Day

Disability Awareness Day (DAD), is Europe's largest 'not for profit' voluntary-led disability exhibition, and is held annually in a huge tented village within the grounds of Walton Hall Gardens. Last year's show was our 20th anniversary and it was be held on Sunday 10th July. Organised by Warrington Disability Partnership, it attracted over 25,000 visitors on the day plus up to 5000 visitors who took part in the complimentary events held during the week prior to DAD.

The Aims of DAD

Our three main aims are:

• To highlight what statutory, private or voluntary services are available to enable disabled people to be as independent as is possible.
• To promote equipment and aides that could maintain or improve independence, not just what is offered by statutory service providers, we want everyone to see the best and/or latest designs
• To provide an opportunity to show what disabled people can do, in the field of Sport, Arts and Entertainment

As well as fulfilling all these aims every year the show also gives everyone who comes a really good day out filled with interest, fun and entertainment!
