    05/11/2009 10:24:36

    Millions of people are caring for a disabled family member, and do it unpaid and often without support. The enable 09 show is the perfect forum to gain advice and also learn about new products in the market which could make not only the life of those in their care easier but also their own.

    There's also information and seminars about adapting homes, supporting disabled children through education plus support networks. Hear for the Princess Trust for Carers, Crossroads and Physiofunction at the dedicated seminar 'Caring for Carers'.

    Take a look at the full list of the seminars at this year's show and if you havent already registered for your FREE ticket then do it now!!
