Wheelchair Skills Training Sessions

DASH (Disability Advice and Support Hillingdon) offers a wide range of services and activities for adults and young people with disabilities in the Hillingdon area. Our mission is to empower individuals and show that disability does not mean inability.

Our services include:

We welcome adults with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health needs (including dementia), and anyone seeking advice or information.
