Disability & Learning Support Service
Accommodation
Campus Residences are pleased to announce that they are now members of DisabledGo. DisabledGo is an award winning disability organisation of 9 years standing based in the UK but increasingly operating in Europe. The organisation was founded by Dr. Gregory Burke, a wheelchair user since the age of 16 who wanted to find a practical way to encourage disabled people to access and contribute to their community. For more information visit http://www.disabledgo.info/Education/Default.asp?TownID=2092&Code
The DisabledGo guide will be officially launched in September.
