Ability Life

I was asked to give some insights into my work. I thought the best way for me to share this was by telling you about a case I’ve been involved in.

Friday 25 September is the date for the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, an annual event hosted by Macmillan Cancer Support. But what happens at the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning, and where did it all begin?

Tonight at 8pm sees the return of disasters, terrible, ill-conceived ideas collapsing and badly planned things slowly falling apart. But if you don’t want to watch Boris Jonson, then The Great British Bake Off is on Channel 4 at the same time.

Time To Draw A Line Under Inactivity And Move Forward With A Healthier, Happier You!

September is World Alzheimer’s month and the 21 September is World Alzheimer’s day. This year the theme for World Alzheimer’s month is ‘Let’s Talk About Dementia.’

The terms ‘disability aids’ and ‘mobility aids’ are often used to describe the same things, but is there a difference?

From pewter to plastic, medical history to politics, we dive headfirst into the history of bedpans (well, not literally), paying homage to an item that rarely gets the recognition it deserves.

It is thankfully, nothing to do with division, long division, fractions, or algebra. Know Your Numbers! Week is all about high blood pressure, let us explain what it all means and what you can do to join in!

As any pet owner will confirm, having a pet around provides a multitude of benefits to both a person’s mental and physical health and well-being.

5 September is International Day of Charity. But, in a world of international days such as Penguin Awareness Day (are we not all aware of penguins already?) what makes International Day of Charity such a worthy cause?

Far from being symbols of reduced mobility, walking sticks and canes can also display wealth, status, and show off our inner fashionista!

With the UK slowly emerging from lockdown, more of us are starting to plan walks. And, if you could do with a little extra help, it’s important to choose the right walking stick for you.

If you search ‘mobility aids’ on Google, you will notice the results are so varied that you could literally spend days reading about mobility aids. So, today we are going to try to make life simpler and find out exactly what is a mobility aid?

With the news, this week, that secondary school pupils in some areas in England will have to wear face masks in certain parts of their schools when they go back in September, now is as good a time as any to answer a question we have seen asked often, what is a face mask?

Initiatives such as the Cyclescheme are for everyone. How can we encourage more of us onto a bike?

Coronavirus has changed all our lives and personal protective equipment, or PPE, and laundry bags have been in short supply. So, what type of laundry bag do you need?

If you have ever seen the BHTA logo on our mobility aids website or on other health care and disability aids sites, you may have wondered what they do and who they are.
