I'm Steve Wilkinson (that's me on the right). As you can see, I use a wheelchair, so you
can see where the name came from. A fine looking chap, don't you agree? Why "Accessibility
Champion"? It's my mission to make the World more accessible for disabled people. I want to help everyone
understand what it is like to live with a disability. Do you agree that you could encounter disability at some time or another, either personally
or through friends and family? Isn't it better, then, to understand the issues that affect disabled people now and help each
other to improve the World before you find out for real?

What is Finding Ways? Access Views that matter to you! In my picture I am wearing a Finding Ways T-Shirt. FindingWays.com is a website I set up to promote accessible venues throughout the World.
I need your help to make it have the impact I believe it can have in making the World more accessible.
What else do I do?
I'm a great believer in the concept
"Give And You Shall Get". As
a result, I support a number of charitable initiatives and events, particularly those helping disabled or disadvantaged
people.
In 2007, I went outside my comfort zone twice in charity fundraising events:
I abseiled from the Tyne Bridge in an event organised by Disability North
I firewalked on my hands in an event organised by Aurora
Foundation.
