Long before the development of the Fully Accessible Barbados (FAB) brand in 2005, the Council has witnessed one particular issue which has emerged as paramount to accommodating Persons with Disabilities conducting their daily affairs –The indiscriminate parking by persons in spaces allocated for persons with disabilities.
In addressing this important concern of the abuse of designated parking bays allocated by businesses for their clients with disabilities, the Barbados Council for Disabilities is partnering with the Kiwanis’s Club Pride of Barbados to design a campaign which will seek to:
Create awareness and encourage businesses to include or upgrade Disabled Parking Bays to the correct specification, a service which will be supported by the Kiwanis.
Conduct an educational and distribution drive of the Parking IDs to the general public
Ever heard the saying “it’s better to give than to receive” well that also applies to time. By volunteering we support an organization or cause and make a great difference in our communities. It’s also a great way to meet new people and learn about the challenges they face daily. Consider giving more than just money, give your time !
