I’m Giles, but most people know me as Mole. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m the Client Ambassador for PA Services For You - and part of my role is speaking up for our community and making sure our voices are heard.
I’ve written a new blog about something that’s been a big part of my life recently, my manual wheelchair, and why it matters more than most people realise.
I use a power chair day-to-day, but when it needs repairs (and it does, more often than you’d think), my manual chair is what keeps me connected to my world. Without it, everything becomes harder, getting out, staying independent, taking part in the things I enjoy.
Recently, my manual chair was taken away and not replaced. It’s been a tough reminder of how important the right equipment is, and how decisions made about us, rather than with us, can have a huge impact.
I’m sharing my story because I know I’m not the only one.
Independence matters.
Being listened to matters.
And the equipment we rely on is never “just equipment”.
