Maria Miller met with Cath Mole to launch Basingstoke and District Disability Forum's(BDDF) annual flagship event 'The Basingstoke Roll 2’ which will be taking place on Friday June 19th from 1-4pm. This year the event is part of the Basingstoke Festival. The Basingstoke Roll 2 is a Scavenger Hunt around Basingstoke Town, with teams following clues to get to the finish line first. There will be prizes for the winners, as well as for the best decorated Wheelchair (supplied by BDDF), the best dressed team, and the team who raise the most funds.
Maria commented “This is a tremendous fundraising initiative; not only is it great fun but the Roll highlights the needs of wheelchair users in Basingstoke. Experiencing the use of a wheelchair for those who normally walk around the town is a really effective way of highlighting the importance of making sure Basingstoke is accessible for those with disabilities.”
