"Imagine dreading a visit to explore the streets of Galway.
Imagine dreading a visit to the local shops.
Imagine dreading going to a night club ………….
Wheelchair users dread all the above and more……….
Why?

Well, simply because streets, paths and access to many premises are generally designed to make life even more difficult for any man, woman or child who has to use a wheelchair.
I wasn’t really aware of this until I saw the film. ‘Welcome to my World.’
Watching this film is the nearest most of us will get to seeing the world from a wheelchair user’s perspective; that is, of course, unless we end up in a wheelchair ourselves ….... or somebody we love does.

This courageous, beautifully made film is an invaluable resource for every classroom. "
Trish McHale Teacher.

"Having reached the age of sixty avoiding pot holes and cracks in paths, I never saw Galway city through the eyes of people in wheelchairs."
Máire Holmes  Poet & Playwright.

"Welcome to our world was made in Galway but it is a film about everywhere".
Terence McGinity Art Therapist UK

"For me the film brought home the very real barriers experienced by people with disabilities and how these barriers effectively exclude people from everyday activities and the things we all take for granted- access to the things we like to do, going where we want to go, having choices etc. We all have a role to play in challenging this and ensuring that our own services and supports are inclusive and that we consistently challenge structures that exclude and marginalise others".
Anne Kenny, Manager Senior Support Services Cope Galway

"I cried particularly at the ending and when I turned around every one else was crying too."
