Peterborough walk to raise awareness for the disabled
The initiative called ‘Sense Walks’ was developed by national disability charity Sense and will see hundreds of people across England and Wales taking to the streets for Deafblind Awareness Week (June 24-30).
The 3km walk will begin at 11am from the Sense marquee located at the car park next to the Lakeside activity centre, with sensory activity stops during the walk through the park. This free walk is open to the public and anyone else who wants to come along to help raise awareness and spread the word about the support provided to people with complex disabilities in the local community.
