Disabled Living Centres

DISABLED LIVING CENTRES

Disabled Living Centres provide advice and information on equipment
designed to help with daily living. The centres usually have products and
equipment on display which visitors can try out to see which suits best.
Disabled Living Centres can also give information about access to
