Each year, on 3rd December, we mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD)—a global initiative to raise awareness and champion the rights of people with disabilities. The theme for 2024, “Amplifying the Leadership of Persons with Disabilities for an Inclusive and Sustainable Future,” highlights the vital role disabled individuals play in creating a world that values inclusion and sustainability.

Our work includes designing bespoke vehicle adaptations and providing free home demonstrations throughout Northern Ireland, ensuring accessibility is within reach for everyone.
