The further a journey is, the more barriers Disabled people will usually face to completing it. Moving about in our own homes is usually much easier than making a longer trip around our own communities. Her are some of the barriers many Disabled people experience. What barriers do you face?

A very busy graphic showing, from top to bottom, increasing distance required for activities from tens to hundreds to thousands of metres per trip and a range of the cumulative barriers likely to be encountered on increasing length trips.

From shortest to longest, activities are moving around own home, moving from home to car/taxi, getting to a bus stop, getting to/around a supermarket/hospital, attending work/education - moving within organisation sites plus commute using public transport, taking children out to nursery/school/activities and play including carrying tired/Disabled children, taking part in local democracy, eg. Standing for election, canvassing, walkabouts, campaigning.

Associated with the activities cumulative from top to bottom are stairs, broken lift, narrow doors, limited manoeuvring space, need to make trips in tight timeframes, narrow/obstructed paths, need to be supported &/or support others, few fixed supports, difficult weather- wind/ice/heat/rain, poor/uneven surfaces, injury risk from drivers, need to carry items/equipment longer distances, risk of harassment/abuse, inaccessible bus stop, inaccessible bus, risk of falling on moving public transport, noise, crowds, need to address workplace inaccessibility conflicting with need to maintain good relationships with those in power, organisational expectations including timings, personal appearance etc, support needs of children, moving on unmade surfaces (grass, bark, gravel, mud), need to approach many private, often inaccessible homes, increased risk of harassment/abuse.

𝗔 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 For the first time in over 10 years, our session fee will be changing. From 1 June 2026, increasing from £5 to £𝟳 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿. PAs, carers and supporters will continue to attend free of charge.

black text on a white text box (with orange border), reading:

"𝗔 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴

For the first time in over 10 years, our session fee will be changing.

From 1 June 2026, increasing from £5 to £𝟳 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿. PAs, carers and supporters will continue to attend free of charge.

We have tried to avoid increasing our prices for as long as possible, but the costs of running our sessions have continued to rise. Each hour now costs us over £15 per participant to provide, so even with this increase, every session will still be heavily subsidised.

We continue to apply for grants and support from funders to help cover the difference. However, like many charities, it is becoming harder to secure funding in the current climate. We also rely on donations from individuals and companies to help keep our sessions running and accessible.

If you are able to contribute the full cost of a session or support additional attendees, please consider also making a donation when you book

If you know anyone who is looking for a charity to support, we would be very grateful if you could suggest Wheels for Wellbeing. Donations can be made through our website, or by contacting us on 020 7346 8482.
We understand that any increase in cost can be difficult. If the new session fee will cause you concern or make it harder for you to attend, please contact us to discuss.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support."

Focusing on reducing one risk & ignoring the bigger picture can cause harm. Too often Disabled people are discriminated against & hurt by people & organisations who think they're acting to keep us safe. We need to be allowed to judge the risks we take in the same way non-disabled people are.
