Beyond Barriers - with guest speaker Adam Hewber; Founder of Ability Heroes

The Ability Heroes venture is a project by the community for the community to vitalise an untapped human resource by providing access, inclusion, and acceptance information for people with restriction to contribute meaningfully through work or volunteering. His message aligns well with Rotary's mission of Service above Self.

His journey of living with spastic paraparesis since birth and transforming his experiences into a force for community good is remarkable. By focusing on inclusivity and accessibility, Adam's work with Ability Heroes aims to leverage the often overlooked talents of individuals with restrictions, enabling them to contribute meaningfully through work or volunteering. The platform serves as a valuable resource for individuals with restrictions, facilitating their participation in the community with dignity and respect. The Ability Heroes Friendship Group project further emphasizes the social aspect, helping to ensure that planning outings and engagements are not only possible but are done with consideration to the unique needs of each individual.
 
Adam's talk offers invaluable insights into the importance of building inclusive communities that value and utilise the diverse abilities of all its members. It also serves as a powerful reminder of the impact businesses and individuals can have when they commit to making society more accessible and accepting for everyone.  The presentation offers practical advice for businesses and organizations looking to be more inclusive, as well as inspire
others with the story of how determination and a vision for a more inclusive community can lead to significant social impact.
