It’s really important for us to get back to participating in face to face events. We need to get across our messages on issues as important as how to access support and equipment as well as continuously telling people how important it is to return community equipment and not hide it in your attic or send it to the charity shop when you’ve finished with it!
Help the NHS by making sure it’s returned to us and we can then make sure it’s checked, cleaned and issued to someone else who may need it.
So what are we doing at the Great Yorkshire Show? You can find us on Stand 432, which is near the Big Wheel – that will certainly be visible right across the showground! We’ll be giving out information packs and details on how to return community equipment after use. If you have anything to return, pick up one of our leaflets – when you return the item, you can fill it in and enter our prize draw to win a £100 Manage At Home voucher.
If you use a walking stick, we’re running a free service to check the ferrule – that’s the little rubber tip that makes contact with the ground and stops the stick from slipping. As part of our commitment to Falls Prevention, we’ll replace it free of charge for you if it’s worn or damaged.
Special offers on some great new products too – 20% off the Ta-Da Chair, a versatile walking stick that converts into a seat at the touch of a button – very useful for taking the weight off your feet as you walk round the showground. We’ll also have reductions on the Shoe Helper, designed to help you both put on and take off your shoes.
As we begin to attend events, the health and safety of our staff and visitors is paramount and we’ll be following all the relevant government guidelines to ensure everyone stays safe. We look forward to seeing you at the Great Yorkshire Show!
