Ricoh Arena To Host Enable Show Again

The Ricoh Arena in Coventry will again host the enABLE Show which is an exhibition for Disabled people on November 6th and 7th 2009.

enABLE09 is the UK's only national event to focus on helping people with disabilities or limited mobility lead an active, independent and full life. With seminar and masterclass programmes running throughout both days of the exhibition offering advice on getting the right benefits, information on dedicated holidays and sports, education, employment and the latest products which make life easier inside and outside the home, you'll find inspiration at enABLE09.

The exhibition is backed by leading charities including Leonard Cheshire, The MS Society, The British Polio Fellowship, The Princess Royal Trust for Carers, Asbah, Age Concern, Arthritis Trust, Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, The Blue Badge Network, Guide Dogs for the Blind and many others.

Visitors to enABLE09 will be able to view, test and buy from the complete range of products relevant to their needs including adaptive vehicles, building and housing, children's equipment, clothing, education, aids for daily living, heath and exercise, holidays, assistive technology, leisure and mobility products. With 100s of products on display, and over 120 exhibitors you will find everything you need at the show.

enABLE09 is a show for carers too. If you are a parent, family member, professional carer, or occupational therapist a visit to the show will be invaluable to you too. Whether it's learning about new products on the market, home adaption, supporting your child through schooling, support networks or general advice for new carers you'll find lots to help you improve both your own role as a carer and the lives of those in your care.

New features this year include the enABLE Advice Centre, Home Automation feature and Home Design Clinic, a Healthy Living Clinic and the launch of the enABLE09 New Product Awards, showcasing the best in innovative products.
