Jiraffe is open and here for you. 💛

We’re still here - fully operational and continuing to supply the same high-quality, specialist products to children, families, therapists, and professionals across the UK.

We are fully supporting our friends and colleagues at Jenx following the recent announcement from our parent company, Jenx Ltd. They are currently still in consultation on a proposal to close manufacturing operations, this does not affect Jiraffe’s day-to-day work.

Whatever the outcome of the consultation, Jiraffe will remain committed to supporting our UK customers into the future. Our team remains passionate and committed to what matters most: helping children with complex disabilities live happy, inclusive lives.

🙏 Thank you for your continued trust and support. Read more here - https://jenx.com/jenx-ltd-begins-consultation-on.../

🌟 Ella’s Story at Bendrigg Trust – Inclusion in Action 🌟

Meet Ella – a 14-year-old with a passion for singing, theatre, and all things Manchester United, and an unstoppable zest for life. Ella has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and requires 24-hour postural care, but that doesn't stop her from embracing every opportunity for adventure.

This video captures a powerful moment at Bendrigg Trust where Ella and her family took part in their first active holiday since Ella's spinal surgery. With the support of the incredible Bendrigg team and the right adaptive equipment, Ella rode a Rifton Tricycle independently for the first time in years. She also had access to the Rifton HTS, helping to make the whole day more comfortable and accessible.

From archery to zip wires, Ella made the most of every accessible activity Bendrigg had to offer.

Her story is a perfect example of how adaptive equipment and inclusive environments open doors to independence, confidence, and joy.

🎥 Watch Ella's adrenaline filled day below, and read the full blog here - www.jiraffe.org.uk/blog/ella_bendrigg_trust/
