with a disability’

We invite you to join us for a practical session to learn how to make your journeys by air as smooth as possible.

 

The day is suitable for individual travellers, parents of disabled children, and assisting health professionals who are considering flying.

 

With industry experts we guide you through the whole journey by air, from booking to arrival at your destination to reduce stress and make your journey comfortable.

 

A replica aircraft cabin is central to the day and available for you to see and try seating and transfer equipment.

The ‘guide to flying’ session will cover:

Booking, insurance, safe carriage of your wheelchair, being fit to fly & medicines, hiring equipment abroad, check in & security, boarding the aircraft, managing challenging behaviours, aircraft seating, airport facilities, hidden disabilities & using the toilet.

QEF partner charity, MERU is now selling switch adapted toys.

For the past few years, MERU has offered to adapted toys at Christmastime, but this required parents to send in Toys that they had bought themselves. But now, as there was such a huge demand to adapt toys last Christmas, we’ve decided to keep some adapted toys in stock all year round!

These toys can be bought direct from the MERU online shop - click here to visit the shop.
