Jeremy Balfour, Scottish Conservative MSP raised a motion at the Scottish Parliament this morning to lend his support for the upcoming Independent Living Scotland event. This programme of free events, held over two days on 26th and 27th September, is Scotland’s largest disability lifestyle and independent living event and will attract thousands of visitors to the 100+stalls to learn more about the theme for this year’s event ““Innovations in health and social care in Scotland: across the generations.”
Commenting Jeremy says,
“The Independent Living Scotland event is a wonderful way for carers, families supporting someone with a disability, health professionals and the public to learn first-hand about new developments in this field and to be able to test products such as wheelchairs, adapted cars, motor scooters, and home adaption aids.”
“I’m also delighted that disabled sport is getting recognition at the event with demonstrations from our wheelchair curling team and other sports such as basketball, wheelchair and visually impaired football being showcased.”
“I would urge anyone who wants greater understanding and support in areas such as dementia, autism and physical disabilities to come along and meet the various exhibitors and benefit from this wonderful free event.”
The Independent Living Scotland Event is running on 26th September and 27th September 2018 at the SEC Glasgow and you can register for your free place by visiting http://www.independentlivingscotland.org or contact the organisers on [email protected] for further information.
