Facts and Statistics

  • 95% of disabled people do not use wheelchairs.

  • People are not “wheelchair bound” – they may be permanent, part-time or occasional wheelchair users.

  • Disability is not always immediately obvious. There may be no visible signs such as crutches.

  • Removing barriers is not just about spending money on structural alterations it is also about changing society's attitude.
