Distance is no great problem if you happen to be young and fit. However, one could suggest that it becomes the dominant factor in the lives of anyone who has to live with physical disability. The subject is something I can speak of because I have been introduced to restrictions imposed by disability, at a reasonably young age.
At 52, I get problems when I travel. So I can sympathise with the problems faced by our pensioners when they travel. Likewise I can feel for the problems of our young. That have perhaps faced the problem of disability all their lives. I know that my own condition, dictates how far I travel and when.
As chairman of Axis, I have been examining ways that distance can be overcome by the disabled person, who wishes make valued contribution to local history. Under my plans. Valued contribution does not mean for the disabled person of any age, being restricted to just sitting around, telling stories and showing photographs and providing verbal information. My plan goes beyond that line of thought.
With that in mind. I would like all disbility groups in Barry to get in touch with me. To form a coalition with our society and take the plan forward. Contact me by e mail martinaxis@aol.com or telephone 01446 739031 to arrange a meeting to take what I feel is an inovative plan to bring local history for the disabled, to life.
Regards
Martin Adams
