Kidz to Adultz Wales is organised by registered charity Disabled Living, having been approached by the Welsh Assembly to host the event in a bid to provide support to the local communities.

Carmel Hourigan, senior manager at Disabled Living commented: "Kidz to Adultz Wales is a great opportunity for children and young adults, as well as their families, carers and professionals to find out more about the products and services available to them. We’ve got some fantastic companies from Cardiff and around Wales and much further afield exhibiting and a great line up of speakers so all attendees will leave having learned something new.

"Our ‘activities area’ will offer visitors a chance to try out a variety of sporting activity taster sessions throughout the day. All our visitors will be entered into our free prize draw."

Joanna Coates-McGrath, Disability Sport Wales Development Coordinator for Sport Cardiff, said: “Summer 2016 has been named Summer of Sport, with the Olympics, Paralympics and Euro 2016 all taking place.
