Disabled Living is a registered charity dedicated to supporting people of all ages with disabilities and additional needs across the whole of the UK.

As part of our work we also organise the Kidz to Adultz events which were established in 2001. These are large-scale exhibitions and a fantastic opportunity for visitors to explore a wide variety of equipment, products and services, all tailored to support children and young adults with disabilities and additional needs. Held in different locations across the UK, these events are all about bringing together families, parents, carers, and professionals in a fun, welcoming environment, and we always make sure there’s something exciting for the children too! Best of all, entry is completely free for visitors.

Alongside the exhibition, we offer a full schedule of free CPD and educational seminars covering a whole range of hot topics, helping professionals enhance their CPD, and for parents and carers to gather essential advice and guidance from experts in the field, helping them make informed decisions and get the support they really need.
