Launched in 2001, Kidz to Adultz North is now one of the largest free exhibitions totally dedicated to children and young adults with disabilities and additional needs, their parents, carers and the professionals who support them. Do you know a child or young adult with disabilities? This event is for you!

Here are 5 reasons you should visit Kidz to Adultz North at EventCity on 14 November 2019:

1. Your one stop shop

With 180+ Exhibitors at the event, the exhibition gives all visitors the chance to access the most up to date advice and information on mobility, funding, seating, beds, communication aids, continence, sensory, transition, education, housing, employment, accessible vehicles, sports, leisure and more.

Come and discover what’s new, try new equipment, arrange further appointments or assessments - all under one roof.

One of the parents who visited the show highlighted why the Kidz to Adultz show is very important for every family attending: “When as a family you learn you have a severely disabled child/grandchild your life is thrown into absolute turmoil and you feel you have to battle your way through at times, particularly with knowing what is out there and who to contact. This is where Kidz to Adultz helps so much.”

2. Amazing speakers lined-up
