The Falklands War veteran Simon Weston will be opening the Naidex National 2012 show on Tuesday 1 May. He will give a talk in the Strategic Theatre followed by a Q&A session.
In 1982 the Welsh Guardsman was on board the Sir Galahad when it was destroyed in Bluff Cove on the Falkland Islands. He sustained 46 per cent burns and has since had 70 operations and surgical procedures.
Naidex National takes place at Birmingham NEC from 1-3 May and offers an opportunity to test and compare hundreds of products under one roof. From paediatric care and wheelchair accessible vehicles to clothing, home adaptations and mobility aids, it aims to offer something for everyone.
Simon Weston said: “I am really looking forward to seeing all the innovative products on display to promote independent living. Without events like this many people would not be aware of what support is out there so I hope that everyone comes to take full advantage of what is on offer at this fantastic, free event.”
Entry is free and visitors can register for tickets at website www.naidex.co.uk/national.
