On Tuesday the 14th the Nairn
Access Panel run their annual Access Awareness Day in the Community and Arts
Centre. Auldearn, Cawdor, Millbank and Rosebankd primary schools took part and
experienced a set of “hands on” workshops. This year the panel enjoyed the
participation of Deaf Awareness Services from Dingwall, the Aviemore Disabled Ski School who
brought along their equipment. There were also several other workshops
involving a wheelchair course for the children, a visual impairment corner
involving a guide dog and a handler and a table with various pieces of
assistance equipment for the children to try.
The Panel also presented their Access
Awareness Award, this year the recipient was Lyods Pharmacy.
Thanks to Liz Bow of the Access Panel for the images in the slideshow below. Individual images here.
It was a great event and the kids got a huge amount from it in terms of understanding the challenges that disability can present and the ingenious ways and strength of conviction required to overcome these obstacles. Well done & thanks to all participants - been doing it for 5 years, great! Kids loved it.
