International Day of Disabled Persons

A Virtual Conference on Post COVID and the effects on Disabled People

In 1992 the United Nations convened the annual International Day of Disabled People to be held annually on 3rd December. This year’s day has a goal of spreading the awareness of invisible disabilities as well as the impact that COVID-19 has had on mental health.

Accessible Wales will be hosting a virtual conference looking at post COVID and the effects on Disabled People, the event is free, tickets can be obtained from our Eventbrite page.

As well as this we were thinking that maybe we could help a little in everyone’s lives. So #HelpForHealth is encouraging people to just look out for each other a little bit more. These small gestures could be a FaceTime call to a family member or sending a letter to a friend. We’ve all been through a rough couple of years and its made an impact on our mental health, lets pull together, share our ideas, spread the hashtag and make a difference.

Keep a watch out as we publish our list of guest speakers and an order of events for the day.

If you would like more information about this event, or find out about the services we offer at Accessible Wales give us a call on 01685 810432 or email info@accessible.wales

Stay safe, keep your distance!

Accessible Wales is supporting the 2m social distancing rule. It is important that everyone maintains the key principals to keep the transition of the virus down. That is why we have added the NHS Distance Aware badge to our website, our marketing and placed posters up in our office.

The important measures you need to carry out to help to stop the spread of this virus are:

Keep socially distant (2 metres or 6.5 feet away
Wash your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds regularly using soap and water. Use antibacterial gel where that is not possible.
cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
Work from home if possible
Avoid using public transport
Wear facemasks indoors in public places or outdoors in crowded areas. There are some people who will be exempt from wearing facemasks you can visit this page on the Public Health Wales website to find out if you qualify.

Handwashing is important to fight Coronavirus

For more information on Coronavirus from Public Health Wales please visit their website.

With cases increases and winter on the horizon it is vitally important that we do all we can to ensure that we look after our health and the health of our friends and family.

At the start of the pandemic we uploaded lots of useful links to our sister website Accessible News, pop over there to check out if any of those links would be useful to you.
