Disability Capital, scheduled to take place on Friday 25 September, is a conference with wide ranging themes of interest to Deaf and disabled people and is organised by the Mayor of London in association with F2F Events. This year’s conference will feature a number of high profile speakers and include sessions on the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, improving accessibility in London, promoting skills and employment, transport and disability arts. Delegates will be from across a number of sectors including Primary Care Trust’s, boroughs & local councils, voluntary associations, charities, government and housing bodies.

Apart from my work with accessible.travel I also started consulting for a new website due to be launched at the start of September which is will provide tourist and daily living information for people with disabilities and seniors in the UK called OpenBritain.

Although the site isn’t yet ready, my work with them has already begun to take me the length and bredth of the country and has allowed me to do a few blog posts for them including a review of the Equal Adventure Festival 09 in Aviemore, Scotland and the Caledonian Sleeper train to London.
