International Wheelchair Day

March 1st is International Wheelchair Day annually. Events and activities worldwide take place as wheelchair users celebrate the positive impact a wheelchair has on their lives. As a supplier of wheelchairs to customers across the UK, Lifestyle & Mobility are very aware of the transformative power of wheelchairs. Whether manual, powered, transit, self-propelled, folding, rigid, tilt-in-space, paediatric, or anything else, wheelchairs give mobility and freedom. As you can hopefully see from the below logo, International Wheelchair Day has a positive and celebratory theme.

Sadly, globally, there are still millions of people who need wheelchairs and are unable to get them. Another aspect of International Wheelchair Day is to draw attention to this, and to encourage real action on it.

Lifestyle & Mobility & Wheelchair Users

What do Lifestyle & Mobility offer to the many wheelchair users who are customers of ours?

For one, try-before-you-buy is a big part of what we do. Just like a car, it’s important to test drive a wheelchair before making a decision. A visit to any of our showrooms is a chance to take your preferred models for a spin. Our friendly and highly-trained staff will be more than happy to answer any and all of your questions about the range of wheelchairs which we stock.

Also, affordability is extremely important to Lifestyle & Mobility. As International Wheelchair Day emphasises, too many people are looking for a wheelchair but unable to find one in their price range. This is why budget wheelchairs and discounted ones are available to view at our showrooms and online.

Last but not least, Lifestyle & Mobility have some of the most expert staff around. When it comes to prescriptive wheelchairs, they are available to carry out free, no-obligation home assessments at a time convenient to you. This allows anyone making the life changing choice of a prescriptive wheelchair with us to be sure that they are making the right decision.
