International Wheelchair Day occurs annually on March 1st, a significant day on which wheelchair users across the world celebrate the positive impact using a wheelchair has had on their lives.

The aims of International Wheelchair Day are:

• To enable wheelchair users to celebrate the positive impact a wheelchair has in their lives.

• To celebrate the great work of the many millions of people who provide wheelchairs, who provide support and care for wheelchair users and who make the World a better and more accessible place for people with mobility issues.

• To acknowledge and react constructively to the fact there are many tens of millions of people in the World who need a wheelchair, but are unable to acquire one.
