Ableworld Crewe kindly donated one of their wheelchairs to the Lindsay Leg Club Charity. This occurred when a nurse who worked for the NHS mentioned that the Lindsay leg Club Charity was in need of a wheelchair to help get immobile patients up the ramp and into the hospital for their appointments.
Walking to our appointments is something we all take for granted however, for those who experience lower limb problems may not be able to do something as simple as this. Everyone should have the ability to make it to their appointments on time, that’s why when the staff at Ableworld Crewe they quickly began to arrange the donation of a wheelchair.
The Lindsay Leg Club charity are a well-established and important charity to so many people across the country, there are multiple individual Leg clubs based in England such as the Crewe Leg Club located at Pickmere Extra Care. Even though each club will have their own initiatives, they follow the same core principles and guidelines set by the original charity.
Providing community-based treatment, health promotion and education to those around them, this charity provides vital treatment and information about an area of our health that is often overlooked. We feel a strong sense of pride knowing the wheelchair we have provided will help multiple patients make it to their appointments on time.

Our stores across the nation took a pro active role in the Random Act of Kindness day 17th February. Our stores gave out small gifts ranging from flowers to chocolates to randomly selected customers from their stores, it was amazing to be able to put a smile on so many people’s faces!
We love creating strong bonds with our customers and Ableworld wanted an excuse to spoil our customers and really aim to make someone’s day. Afterall, who doesn’t love flowers and chocolates!
Our Crewe store wanted to surprise two customers, one who had just bought a Dorchester Riser Recliner. Crewe store delivered the Dorechester but the customer wasn’t there to receive them. The box of chocolates returned to the store, waiting for its next opportunity. That was when luckily her grandson happened to walk through the door accepting the chocolates on her behalf!
The second customer Mary Kent received a bouquet of flowers from our amazing team of staff at Crewe. Mary was so happy with her flowers she even sent our Crewe store a lovely card thanking them for the beautiful gift. Our employees at the Crewe store were so happy to hear that the gift had brought Mary so much joy.
Crewe store wanted to thank the amazing recipients of the gifts for being such wonderful customers, we hope to carry on providing the best service we can.
