Young people and adults with a learning disability from local day centres and clubs joined by their family members and carers came to the Newry Sports Centre, on Wednesday 14th December to take part in an ICT Fun Day organised by Mencap’s LiveNet Project.

With 14 exhibition and interactive stands offering fun and games there was lots on offer. Everyone who came along had an opportunity to speak to professionals and providers of sports and health related programmes, play around with the games including Xbox Kinect and Nintendo Wii Sports, and experiment with various types of technology.
