Welcome to this week's Disability Information and Advisory

Each time I look up from the computer today, the weather outside has

Hope you are managing to stay warm, and looking out for each other.

‘All Terrain Wheelchair’ available for
local use
We were made aware recently that not everyone knew about the FREE ‘All
Terrain Wheelchair’ that is available to use for anyone living in Hawke’s Bay to
use in Hawke’s Bay.
It has two sets of wheels so it can be used on the beach/in the sea/water and the
other set of wheels can be used for off road forest paths.
Below are a couple of pictures to show you what it’s capable of.
Full details are available of ‘how, what and when’ at the council’s website:
