Family Fund welcomes you to an in-person Digital Skills Workshop, including about accessibility features, for disabled children and young people and their families. There will also be information about Family Fund services for families with disabled and seriously ill children and young people from 0 to 25.
Session 1 11.30 – 12.00
Join our iPad drop in at any time to learn about ways to customise your iPad in ways that work best for you and your family. In the session we will look at built in features that cover vision, hearing, mobility, speech, and cognitive accessibility, whether you need them on a temporary or ongoing basis.
Session 2 12.00 -12.45
Ever thought about writing the next number one hit? In this session we’ll use GarageBand to explore music-making and create your very own hit song using the built-in loops. We’ll start with the bass, add some guitars and drums and see where our creativity takes us as we build our very own piece of music. Adding effects and filters will add the finishing touches to your song.

About
Ian Rice was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis in his 40s and became a wheelchair user at the end of 2016. He later took up photography as a hobby before turning it into his profession and getting increasingly high profile and wide ranging commissions.
This summer, as all eyes focussed on the Paralympics, Ian took his dream job on the courtsides and finish lines in venues across Paris to capture the biggest Para sporting event of the year for Agence France-Presse. Join us as we hear from Ian about his Paralympic story and how he approaches his art creatively to capture some of the most iconic sporting images of the summer.

The proposal to change the criteria used to decide who is assigned to the LCWRA (Limited Capability for Work Related Activity) group could lead to many with serious and deteriorating health conditions being placed instead in a group who are expected to do work preparation and receive a lower level of benefit.
This meeting, led by Sue Royston and Rory Allen of Citizens Advice York, will be an opportunity to explore and discuss in more detail the implications of changes proposed by the previous Government and currently under consideration by this Government.

This presentation introduces Enhanced Audio Description (EAD) and its application to film and television. EAD is an alternative to Audio Description. It moves away from the reliance on words and voices to provide descriptions and instead uses sound design (sound effects, ambiences), audio spatialisation and first person description integrated into the film and television production.

About
This event will showcase the recent, innovative ‘Tired of Spinning Plates’ research – Tired of spinning plates | Education | The University of Sheffield about the lives of family carers of people with learning disabilities and autistic people. As one of the researchers, Professor Katherine Runswick-Cole, University of Sheffield, will explain, the project initially planned a survey of family carers. But carers said they were fed up of surveys and suggested an online exhibition instead! Coproduction in action!
The event will be set within the historical context of the Shush, Snip, Rip exhibition sidbaility.net which will be running throughout York Disability Week and beyond.
There will be an opportunity (for those who wish) to share your own ‘spinning plates’ stories and your positive stories of independent living with direct payments.

The First World War was a devastating event, which killed and maimed hundreds of physically able young men. This lecture will consider the lasting legacy of the First World War on men’s bodies and minds. What happened to the men who came back from the war alive but with lasting injuries and disabilities? Did the state live up to its promise of a ‘Land fit for Heroes’? How did the state and society seek to readjust men back to their civilian lives and how successful were these attempts? This lecture will consider the lived experiences of people who lived through the war, and came back with bodies which were battered and broken, only to have to fight the state for what they were owed.

The world came together this summer to enjoy the Paris Paralympics, the biggest sporting event on the planet, demonstrating their speed, strength and endurance. As well as athletic prowess, the games showcased cutting-edge innovation in specialised assistive technology, such as computer-aided design for customised fits, and intuitive interfaces between body and machine, revolutionising the way Para athletes interact with their environments.
But is all this entirely new? Throughout time humans have designed and innovated to create assistive technology to support disabled people, not only for sport, but in their day-to-day lives. Join us to hear Jane Draycott talk about the fascinating and long history of prosthetics and assistive technology.
Jane will share her findings from literary, documentary, archaeological, and bioarchaeological evidence, painting us a picture of their importance for the lived experience of disabled people in classical antiquity.

Humans have gathered to tell stories around the fire since time began. It is one of humanity’s oldest traditions and how we have understood who we are. In this taster session, come and experience Shared Story’s ‘Not a Book Club’ group and the joy of shared reading. There’s nothing to prepare beforehand and no pressure to read aloud.
The idea for Shared Story was born from the organisers’ experience of working in health and social care and hearing first-hand how difficulties with concentration and focus resulted in people with long term conditions sometimes finding themselves unable to read, a once enjoyable part of their lives. All welcome!

We offer 3 sports - indoor bowls, carpet bowls (smaller bowls, shorter distance) and boccia (a seated game perfect for wheelchair and low mobility participants). All are played for social inclusion and enjoyment but there is always that element of competition which the participants (and often their supporters) can't help generating!! We have adaptations and aids to ensure everyone can participate. Hot food and sandwiches are available from 11.30am and this enhances the social experience.
Our regular participants have a range of access needs. Some come on their own; some with support staff or family members.

Better Leisure’s ‘state of the art’ climbing room has a range of climbing walls, suitable for climbers from age 4 up.
There will be 2 experienced instructors in attendance. Each climber will get an induction and as much advice as needed to feel confident to tackle the 15m high walls. Climbers wear a safety harness, secured to an automatic belay system. It takes up the slack as you climb, holds you securely if you fall or let go, and lowers you gently and slowly down to the floor when you’ve gone as high as you want.
Access
Accessible parking right outside; Stadium is also close to Monks Cross Park and Ride.
