Bob Bennett

Bob has inspired many people to do what they never thought possible: to engage in physical activity regardless of physical, social or mental barriers. Bob is a member of Perth & Kinross Access Group, who aim to 'promote access and a barrier free environment in Perth & Kinross, with specific attention to the needs of disabled people'. Bob has made a real difference to the local community by providing inspiration and support over the last year in helping us set up inclusive dance classes locally. He has also proven to be an enthusiastic dancer in his own right, inspiring others in the class on a weekly basis. But that's just scratching the surface; Bob has also published his own leaflet on wheel chair accessible walking routes around Perthshire; he has ab-sailed and taken part in other physically demanding sports and he was a performer in a physical theatre company for many years. There is no doubt that Bob fulfils all the criteria listed; inspirational, always tries his best; makes a real difference; is a real friend; shows respect for others and is well aware of the importance of fair play. Having cerebral palsy has never held him back. He loves a challenge.
