Barrow & District Disability Association are holding a Disability Advice and Benefits Exhibition at The Forum on Friday 31st January from 10.30am to 3.00pm.
They have invited a whole host of organisations who will be on hand to offer expert advice and information to anyone affected by a disability or illness, their families and carers.
There will be a selection of organisations offering advice to those currently receiving disability benefits and are concerned about how ‘Welfare Reform’ will affect them, as well as those who offer actual support for people to remain independent and safe and improve the lives of disabled/ill people and their carers/families.
There will also be a wide range of other service providers and organisations, including care agencies, independent living advisers, disability specific support groups, Trading Standards, Victim Support, The Fire Service and providers of mobility & personal care aids. Wiltshire Farm Foods will be attending and offering taste samples of latest menu and many other charitable and statutory organisations offering help to disabled people, their families and carers.
There will also be displays from craft classes, opportunities for blood pressure checks, short demonstrations of armchair exercises and demonstrations of CPR techniques and how to use a defibrillator, given by Heartstart.
If anyone would like any further information regarding the event or if you are an organisation that would like to exhibit, please contact June Pryor or Julia Everett at Barrow and District Disability Association on 01229 432599 or drop in to 71-77 School St, Barrow-in-Furness, LA14 1EJ (The Willow Tree Café).
