International Wheelchair Day
March 1
On the first day of March we’re celebrating International Wheelchair Day! Today is all about celebrating the positive impact that a wheelchair has on the lives of those that use them, and celebrating those who make wheelchairs more readily available, thereby making the world a more accessible place.
The Aims of International Wheelchair Day
- To enable wheelchair users to celebrate the positive impact a wheelchair has in their lives.
- To celebrate the great work of the many millions of people who provide wheelchairs, who provide support and care for wheelchair users and who make the World a better and more accessible place for people with mobility issues.
- To acknowledge and react constructively to the fact there are many tens of millions of people in the World who need a wheelchair, but are unable to acquire one.
