Brighton

On the 24th July, one of the hottest days this year; I went to Brighton for the day with family and friends courtesy of the Oxfordshire Branch of the MND Association.

The wheelchair accessible transport was provided by qualitycaretravel@btinternet.com. The journey there was very easy and we headed straight for the famous Pier. For the disabled amongst you: the Pier has a smooth track for wheelchair users and a good disabled loo on a radar key.

Clearly Brighton has similar access problems to Oxford but I think Brighton scored slightly better. For example, they have a huge outdoor café culture but they still left some room for a wheelchair user to pass and provided roughened paved areas where the pavement sloped into the road.

I really recommend hiring quality care. The drive was brilliant and made it so easy. A huge thank you, and a huge thank you to the Oxfordshire Branch who funded the cost of the travel.
A fantastic day out for all.
