Wheelchair Users Forum

We’re launching a Wheelchair Forum at One Place East and are looking for a Chair / Lead. This role can be paid or voluntary, depending on what works best for you.

The forum is about wheelchair users coming together, sharing what life is really like, and making sure those experiences are heard. If you’re already someone who speaks up, brings people together, or is seen as a trusted voice among other wheelchair users – whether formally or informally – we’d love to hear from you.

We welcome all kinds of wheelchair users: manual and powered, part-time or full-time, temporary or permanent users, people of different ages, impairments and backgrounds. What matters is an openness to different experiences and a commitment to making space for everyone.

The first Wheelchair Forum meeting will take place on Tuesday 10 March 2026 from 12.30pm – 2.30pm at Redbridge Central Library.

This is a chance to be involved from the start and help create a forum that feels supportive, inclusive and useful.

We hope this forum will grow and have reach across North East London, connecting wheelchair users and strengthening voices beyond one borough.

If you care about access, inclusion, and disabled people having a stronger voice locally, this could be a great opportunity to get involved. To find out more or express interest, please contact the One Place East office on: 020 8925 2435 | info@oneplaceeast.org.
