A Stairlift Purchase Is Not The End Of Your Life, But The Beginning Of A New One!

GETTING up and down stairs is often one of the greatest challenges facing people suffering from age related disabilities. However, despite being a simple and effective method of overcoming this problem, the stairlift still retains a somewhat unjustified stigma and is still often the subject of much corny and clichéd humour.

I Can't Do That!

The Butterfly Effect

ONE OF my favourite films is the 2004 supernatural thriller ‘The Butterfly Effect’starring Ashton Kutcher in the leading role. In the movie, Kutcher’s character, Evan Treborn, has supernatural powers that allow him to go back in time and do things differently in order to help save his friends from tragic accidents or evil deeds.

Chase Park Festival

WHETHER IT BE GLASTONBURY, Proms in the Park or the Notting Hill Carnival there is nothing quite like a summer music festival to chill out and relax. Lazing about on the grass, supping a cool drink and listening to a wide variety of musical talent, it’s just bliss. However, not always so easy to attend if your are disabled or confined to a wheelchair.
