Welcome to DAD 2010

Hello and welcome to DAD 2010 our nineteenth annual event. I’m very pleased to say that our aim today hasn’t changed a great deal from our first DAD back in 1992, which is to create an event that brings people together, no matter what or the level of their disability, with a common aim to highlight what is available under the umbrella of independent living. DAD continues to provide a platform for small, family run support groups, businesses and public sector organisations together promoting their services directly to disabled people, carers, their families and other interested people.

Back in March we were pleased to receive confirmation that our friends at the Northwest Regional Development Agency agreed to be the principal sponsor for this year’s event, in parallel with their support of our nationally acclaimed Positive Action Awards which will be presented later this year.

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 2010 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.
