The Summer issue of Forward magazine is out now!
What better way to begin the new season than to pick up a copy of our latest Forward magazine … jam packed full of features, stories, tips and ideas on how you can get your summer off to a fun and fulfilling start!
For our summer issue, we lead with a staple feature of a summer in the UK – the music festival. But how easy is it to attend one in a wheelchair? Prior to her spinal cord injury Lizzie Tench was a regular festival goer, here she shares her experience of attending one for the first time as a wheelchair user.
And as our two-year Travel with Confidence project comes to an end, we look back at the legacy of this hugely successful endeavour, and how the ‘Travel with Confidence Challenge’ exposed daily barriers faced by wheelchair users and those with limited mobility on public transport.
