A local charity is calling for the community to become more 'disability aware'.
Crossroads Care works to provide respite to carers and services to people with care needs on the Island.
It has also started schemes to encourage businesses to become more user friendly for people getting around and also how they are treated.
Jackie Betteridge is the chief executive - she believes the Island has been slow on the uptake of making places more accessible:
Firefighters called to kitchen fire
Yellow weather warning for rain tonight
Twelve-marathon challenge has already raised over £10k
Post Office suspends mail to Venezuela
Mountain Road closed due to snowfall
Yellow weather warning for snow and ice
Local authority homes could be improved
