Thanks to public donations – and one major donation in particular – a cancer charity has been able to install stairlifts in its latest home.
There’s a temptation to think of stairlifts as something that comes with age. Yet whilst advancing years and reduced mobility are a major factor in the take-up of stairlifts, they’re certainly not the only reason for installing them.
Take cancer care. Treatment can be a lonely and often exhausting experience, so a service like that provided by John Holt Cancer Support in Warrington can make all the difference to recovery rates.
Yet until recently, the centre’s base on Museum Street in the town didn’t have a stairlift, making it difficult for those using the centre to get the most out of it. Happily, as the Warrington Guardian reports, all that has changed thanks to public donations, including one major donation of £1,000 from a local woman who was giving in memory of her late husband.
As a result, the charity has reached its total, and the centre is now more accessible to cancer patients thanks to the addition of a stairlift.
