Also on Saturday 29th June a professional Occupational Therapist, in conjunction with The OT Practice will be on our stand to give additional advice and support on what care, services or equipment you may need.

We always have great offers available on the stand and we are delighted to meet up with past customers and new customers alike.  It is a super event – the team has a great time (although we always pack flat shoes and blister plasters!).  We look forward to hopefully seeing you there.

Gardening Mobility Products

Now that Spring has hopefully finally arrived; many of you will be thinking about getting out into the garden in time to plant bulbs and flowers for the Summer.  If so then do take a look at some of our useful gardening tools:

• Easi Grip Gardening Tools – these gardening tools are designed to minimise stress on the wrist so that the user can continue to work in the garden with less pain.   The angled handle ensures that the wrist is kept in a natural position and a non slip grip provides great comfort and control.  Fork, Cultivator and Trowel.
• Garden Kneeler – getting up and down to those garden chores can be quite a strain on both the back and knees, especially in wet weather.   And for those jobs where you need a little height – just turn the Kneeler over for a comfy seat or handy step.

Finally take a look at the British Chiropractic Association handy hints for making the most of your garden without putting a strain on your back…

Finding stairs a bit much?

More Than Mobility Team

The shepherds may be tending their flocks but this year shoppers are not flocking to spend their cash.  High streets are quieter this year again and although a big part of that is our love of the convenience of online shopping our team thinks that overall people have returned to a more considered approach to Christmas.  Rather than splash out on lots of short term “fun” gifts that rarely last out the festive season we think that people are thinking more deeply about that their loved ones might really need and buying gifts with consideration and for longevity.

So with a remarkable year for the UK almost behind us including the Queen’s Jubilee (we are remembering the Queen’s visit to our local park, that torch relay followed by the Olympics and Paralympics) and all the fantastic cultural events that brightened up our year) it has to be the people who made it all happen that stick in our minds.  The Olympic volunteer’s choir was on the news this week and just the sight of their purple uniforms took us back to those heady summer days when some of us were lucky enough to get to the Olympics and bask in the admiration of other nations.  We sang to the volunteers’ lead as we waited for the trains, having stayed in the Olympic Park until the last possible minute.  The spirit of 2012 is not Jess Ennis, fabulous as she is, but those volunteers who smiled their way through the shifts and the baking heat of the day (yes really!) and hundreds of rounds of leading “if you are happy and you know it clap your hands” and really showed the best of British.

Christmas Gifts Ideas

If you still have a few presents to get then stay home snuggled up and buy online.  Check out our Christmas Gifts section – which this year for the first time includes lovely bed-jackets, nighties and general cosiness.  You can see a selection on our adapted clothing & warmth pages or click here to see the full range from our sister company www.clootietree.com.

Can you get a parcel there for Christmas?  Yes there is still time!

• Last orders for guaranteed Christmas deliveries – noon Wednesday 19th December
• Last orders to be despatch before the holiday: we will despatch any orders up to Friday 21st December, after that the next despatch is Wednesday 2nd January.

We are closed from 5pm on Saturday 22nd December  until Wednesday 2nd January.  However, our sales phone lines will be open with limited cover from 10am – 3pm all days except December 25th, 26th and January 1st.

Thank you for your custom this year – we value your business and would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas.  One last work on volunteering – If you have not heard of Contact the elderly do check them out – some of our team are volunteer drivers and hosts and it is rewarding and fun.  If you are thinking of supporting a charity please do consider them.

With best wishes

More Than Mobility Team
