Disability Awareness Day (DAD) is an annual independent living exhibition and a family fun day rolled into one. The main aim of the event is to promote independence throughout life and work. The exhibitors at DAD reflect a wide range of support services that help us achieve this aim. DAD is supported by a week of complimentary events, and on the day we have arts, sport and entertainment for everyone.

The next show is on Sunday 12th July 2009. We look forward to seeing you there!

The 4th – 6th of June QIS will be attending the Mobility Roadshow where we will showcase our latest development – Q Well Being.

This family resort, due for completion in 2012, is being built to the highest specification. It has been designed by user for users – including the access advisor for the Olympic Village, architect David Bonnett, and accessible kitchen designer Adam Thomas, a former Spinal Injuries Association trustee. This means it will have all the facilities to provide a positive experience for disabled or older people experiencing mobility difficulties and their families.
