Welcome to DAD 2009

Hello and welcome to the Disability Awareness Day 2009.

Eighteen years ago I would never have imagined that a simple idea would have developed into a life changing event. Seventee shows later our focus remains the same today as it did back in the early nineties. DAD 2009 will highlight a huge range of independent living services that are available from statutory, private or voluntary organisations, and we will showcase disability related Sport, Arts and Entertainment.

I would like to thank everybody who has helped to make DAD a reality, thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters, our team, our families, our exhibitors and most of all you for your interest.

Thank You

Dave Thompson MBE DL

The History

In the first year of DAD Dave and his son marked out the ground with a pot of paint and a handy tape measure. In 2008 our site team will consist of over 30 people many of whom will be using part of their annual leave to volunteer to set up this years show. Read the inspiring story of the event from the early days.
