The Wheelchair Alliance has announced disabled adventurer and content creator Nick Wilson as a new patron.
Wheelchair adventurer Nick became the first person with disabilities to reach the highest accessible point of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) on a newly developed all-terrain powerchair, RockClimber, without any physical support or assistance aides.
He has signed up for the honorary role with the Wheelchair Alliance, an organisation which champions the needs of wheelchair users across England, in support of its mission to make real change in wheelchair provision.
Having spent 14 years in the Army before he was forced to retire due to prolapsed discs in his spine, Nick has forged a new life raising awareness of the impact that accessibility, loneliness and suicide has on people with disabilities.
He does this by sharing his own experiences through his various social media channels.
“As a disabled adventurer and creator of accessibility videos, I know first-hand how challenging it can be to navigate the world while living with a disability,” said Nick.
“I see myself as an ambassador for the disabled community who is committed to breaking down barriers and advocating for greater accessibility in all aspects of life.
“By being a patron of the Wheelchair Alliance, I hope that I will be able to use my own experiences to improve awareness and help generate the vital income needed to cover its core costs.”
