It's International Wheelchair Day, and to teach us more, our People Moving Lead Holly is taking over... over to you Holly! 😊
"At Consensus, we celebrate International Wheelchair Day to recognise and value the important role wheelchairs play in enabling people to live independently and take part in the things that matter to them.
We have over 60 in-house People Moving trainers across Consensus, strengthening safe and effective practice throughout our services. This internal expertise enables us to support more than 80 people with physical needs safely, confidently, and consistently. A few of our positive impacts include:
⛳ Courtwick Lodge not only has a flat, accessible garden, but also a small golf course, meaning everyone can join in for a game.
💜 M has recently opted to use his wheelchair more frequently, so he can enjoy his weekly coffee, and visits to the farm (as pictured! 📸)
✨Waterbury House has had a beautiful, large garden ramp installed, ensuring that people can access the garden easily and independently.
A time to promote inclusion, create supportive and accessible environments, and celebrate the achievements and contributions of people who use wheelchairs."
Where every person matters, thank you Holly for sharing some of the fantastic outcomes from across Consensus 🧑🦽➡️
