Cool Crutches

25/09/2025

19 years ago today, we started Cool Crutches ✨

From the quad bike accident that shattered both our lives (as well as my spine), to NHS crutches that caused pain and frustration and then designing the very first pair of Cool Crutches with my mum Clare - this business may have started with a horrible accident, but it’s developed into a passion for not only making mobility aids better, but every second of support needed to adapt to living with them 💪

Nearly two decades later, we’re still here, still innovating and still working every day to make life easier, safer and brighter for every body navigating serious illness or injury ✨

To all of you - thank you. For every message, every story shared, every pair of crutches or walking stick proudly carried… you are the reason we’re here 19 years on. We quite literally wouldn’t be here without all of you.

Here’s to the next 19!

Lots of love,

Amelia & Clare xx

Today is Stand Up To Cancer Day and we couldn’t think of a better story to share than Musa’s ♥️

From a childhood bone cancer diagnosis to making Britain’s Got Talent history and performing on stages worldwide - his journey is nothing short of extraordinary 🌈

At just 10 years old, Musa and his mum made the life-changing decision to amputate his leg. That choice not only saved his life, but also opened the door to a career as an international dancer. 🌟

Musa is living proof of what’s possible when resilience meets passion.

Very grateful to have been interviewed by BBC News and able to share exactly what the reality of a tube strike is for the disabled community.

Tube strikes when you have a disability can honestly make even the most resilient of humans crumble. It’s such a simple consideration but all too often disabled people and the impact is overlooked. At a time when we are being demonised for not working enough, it’s ironic to make the biggest UK city completely inaccessible with one decision!

Interested to hear if you find travelling in London harder than elsewhere? Anyone been during a tube strike? I definitely won’t make the same mistake twice!

Overcrowding, cost, and lack of alternatives can make transport difficult or dangerous during a Tube strike.
