Anglesey has been chosen by PIWS, a community initiative, for a pilot scheme which aims to put Access for All at the heart of the island’s tourism and leisure sector. With 14.1 million people registered disabled in the UK, it is estimated that 1 in 4 families visiting Wales have a disabled member in their family, and with only 10 per cent using a wheelchair accessibility isn’t limited to those with mobility and physical impairments as 80 per cent have a “hidden condition”. Davina Carey-Evans, founder of PIWS said: “The spending power of registered disabled people and their families, known as the purple pound, is £249 billion a year, and yet only 10 per cent of UK businesses have a targeted strategy for this huge market.
