One Voice - action for disability
The Steam Rally in June was a bit of a washout, with torrential rain for much of the weekend - most disabled people were far too sensible to come out in this, but we are hopeful that the City Show will have excellent weather, and once again, ShopMobility willl have scooters and wheelchairs for hire at the event.
The city show is on the 11th and 12th July.
It starts at 11.00am and finishes at 6.00 pm.
Shopmobility will have a stall at South Gate just inside the gates and equipment such as scoters and wheelchairs will be available for hire on both days.
One Voice will be loitering at the ShopMobility stall for some of the weekend - come along and say hello!

One Voice is having an Access Meeting with architects and managers about the Bilston Leisure Centre on Wednesday 22nd July, from 10-12 in committee room 4 – civic centre 3rd floor.
We have already highlighted concerns regarding the turnstile entrance system, colour contrasting, length of route to accessible changing rooms, lack of provision for assistance dogs, vertical circulation problems, and potential fire evacuation problems.
Come and have your say on the major development, to make sure it gets done right for disabled people.

The One Voice AGM on Saturday 20th June, was pronounced a great success by the 39 people in attendance. Some people could only stay for a short time but most stayed from Chairobics, through to lunch!
We had a good session on access led by Ian Joyce, and proposals and information from several members and visitors.
As always there was much interest in the work One Voice has done over the year.
Stephen Hopley talked about One Voice doing some community outreach meetings and events to help get disabled people invovled while making sure that they do not get isolated in their homes.
Paul Darke came and talked about his project Flourish2BU, which is a pilot project to get disabled people involved in their health and fitness, including a year's free gym membership - there was a lot of interest!
