Update 28: Podcast with Jack Davey & Leila Manion – Independence, Access for All and Wheelchair Basketball

For our latest podcast, I sat down with Jack Davey and Leila Manion to talk about independence, accessibility and the freedom to explore. Jack shares stories from playing professional wheelchair basketball in Germany, coaching the Exeter Otters and designing wheelchairs, while Leila brings her experience of championing disability inclusion with Disability Together.

We chat about the friendships and opportunities that sport creates, adventures on beaches and forest trails, and the everyday barriers that can make getting outdoors more difficult.

From accessible toilets to knowing what to expect along a route, it’s a conversation about independence, inclusion and how better information can help everyone discover good ways to go.
