Wally’s electronic trike from TADWA gave him freedom, confidence and a new passion for art! 🚴♂️🎨

He rides to the local arts society to showcase his work and gets plenty of compliments on his ‘Harley Davidson’. 😎

“The trike gives me freedom. It gives me ability and mobility. I can go anywhere I want, anytime I want and I don’t need to wait for someone to come and help me.”

Our OTs embody our STAR values:

💙 It’s National Carers Week 💙

This year’s theme, “You are, know, or will be one,” is a powerful reminder that carers are everywhere and their impact is felt every day.

We’re proud to be carers too, through the work we do, the solutions we create, and the people we support. From modified trikes to smart home technology, our products and services are designed to make life easier, safer and more independent for those who care and those who are cared for.

To every carer, family, friend, professional or volunteer, thank you for the incredible difference you make.
