Representatives from the Equality and Human Rights Commission will also  be available to offer advice on the day and will be running a lunchtime fringe event with one of their solicitors Mark Stone, an expert lawyer, who will  be available to provide advice/information to users and their representatives about the Commission’s services.

TWNW, is an independent body, represents users of all forms of public transport in the North West. As well as users, we encourage representatives of transport procurers and operators to attend our conferences.

Whilst we want to continue to offer these events at no charge, we hope that delegates will make a voluntary donation to help to cover our wider costs. In this respect we ask for a modest minimum contribution of £5.00 per individual.
