Disability Awareness Day is a pan disability event which promotes 'a can do culture' focusing on what disabled people can do throughout life and work. The show had three main aims:
- To highlight what statutory, private or voluntary services are available, to enable disabled people to stay independent.
- To promote equipment and aids that could maintain or improve independence, not just what is offered by statutory service providers
- Showcase what disabled people can do, in the field of Sport, Arts and Entertainment.
