Kidz South 
Thursday, 24th June 2010
9.30am – 4.30pm

Rivermead Leisure Complex 
Richfield Avenue, Reading, RG1 8EQ

One of 3 of the largest, FREE UK exhibitions totally dedicated to disabled children, their families and carers, and the health care professionals who work with them.

Information on mobility, seating, beds, communication, access, education, toys, transport, style, sensory, sports, leisure and much more...

Now in its fourth year, this exhibition promises to be a hive of activities with over 90 exhibitors attending. Many of the companies that exhibit at the 'Kidz' events you see year on year, as they have chosen our exhibitions to launch new equipment and products, so make sure you visit all the stands. The company representatives are often experts in their field and usually have solutions to what may seem like unmanageable problems. So, do take the opportunity to pick their brains.

We have some excellent speakers presenting our free seminar sessions who can provide you with information on best practice, new research and good practical advice. For our professional visitors, certificates of attendance are available to support your continued professional development. Children and parents are very welcome to attend.

Attending the 'Kidz' exhibitions is more crucial now than ever. The Government is investing £340 million in equipment and wheelchair services, short breaks and palliative care for disabled children. In addition, the introduction of individual and personalised budgets may enable the children and/or parents to have a greater say in what equipment and services are most appropriate. The information you gather at the 'Kidz' events can ultimately improve the life of children, their parents and extended family.

A flyer for the event is also attached, please feel free to copy/circulate to your colleagues and service users as you feel appropriate.

We do welcome feedback as year on year, we want to improve our events. Please take the time to complete a questionnaire at the event, or email your comments and suggestions to peter.dean@disabledliving.co.uk
