Life and Mobility Solutions: helping Warminster stay mobile

For those seeking expert advice and high-quality mobility equipment, Life and Mobility Solutions in Warminster offers a welcoming and pressure-free environment to find the right product for their needs. Located in George Street, the showroom is part of a family-run company with over 30 years of experience in the mobility and stair-lift industry.

Stuart, the manager of the Warminster branch, explains what sets Life and Mobility Solutions apart: “We have a really wide range of products in our showroom so people can come in, have a look, and try them out. And because we are not tied to any single manufacturer, we don’t push products on to our customers – we simply help them find the most suitable option to suit their needs. We aim to offer the right product and great service at a reasonable price.”

The showroom features an extensive selection of mobility scooters, lightweight powerchairs, wheelchairs, walkers and British-made adjustable beds and rise-and-recline chairs. Additionally, a wide range of daily living aids, such as grab rails, walking sticks, rollators, pillboxes and wheelchair cushions, are available to help make everyday tasks easier.

Mobility scooters remain one of the most popular products, particularly in spring and summer. Customers can find scooters suited for everything from shopping centre trips to countryside excursions. “When helping a customer choose a scooter, we consider factors such as whether it needs to fit in a car, the person’s lifting ability, and what terrain they plan to use it on,” said Stuart. “It’s all about making sure they feel safe and comfortable.”

Try before you buy

One of the biggest advantages of shopping at Life and Mobility Solutions is the ability to try before buying. “Unlike some online and large retailers, we take the time to get absolutely the right product for each individual. We want our customers to return to us in the future, knowing they can trust us to provide the best advice and service. It’s all about chatting with the customer, finding out what they need and then having the opportunity to try the product out to make sure it’s the right product for them.

“This is particularly important for large purchases such as a mobility scooter or wheelchair but it can be equally important for everyday aids like rollators. People who buy these online or have one from a relative, often stand too far away and have the handles too high which can make them dangerous.  Here you can come and try them out and we’ll give you advice on how to use them safely and get the best from them.”

Home delivery

Beyond sales, the company also offers part-exchange, servicing and repair facilities, handled in-house by trained technicians. They even provide home delivery, often personally carried out by Stuart himself. “If there’s ever an issue, we’re right here on their doorstep to sort it out,” he adds.

Life and Mobility Solutions prides itself on its family-run values, ensuring a warm, friendly, and no-pressure experience for every customer. For more information, visit www.lifeandandmobility.co.uk, visit them at 17 George Street or call 01985 440282.

  • Dominant win and tough defeat for first XI

The weekend of the 4th July saw the Warminster Cricket Club 1st XI produce their most dominating performance of the season so far.

Warminster won the toss and elected to put the Corsham 2nd XI into bat and this decision quickly delivered the impact the team were looking for.  All of the Warminster bowlers were excellent with both John Powell and Paul Braithwaite taking three wickets and coupled with excellent fielding, Corsham were bowled out for 95 runs in 36 overs. 

The result was never in doubt and the Warminster opening batsmen quickly set about chasing down the target, reaching it in 19 overs without losing a wicket.  Joe Breet top scored with 51 not out as the team won by ten wickets.

The Warminster 2nd XI also produced a resounding victory with a nine wicket win over a Swindon NALGO CC 2nd XI.  Fielding first, the Warminster bowlers soon had the opposition batsmen in difficulty and continued to take wickets at regular intervals. Swindon NALGO were finally dismissed for 172 runs and whilst the wickets were shared around the Warminster bowlers, Cieran Woolhouse’s performance stood out, taking five wickets for 23 runs.

  • Warminster Museum: Cottage Hospital

A few weeks ago, this column featured the development of Warminster Hospital.

We said at the time that it was a great pity that we had no photograph of the original Cottage Hospital, after its conversion from a farmhouse and before either of the wings was added. But, life is full of surprises. 

Just a couple of weeks after writing that column, someone offered the museum an album of photographs, all local photographs and all taken in about 1889. No local museum would turn down such an offer – and it is gold-dust.

  • Wiltshire Council to start work on new Local Plan

Wiltshire Council’s Cabinet has agreed to begin work on a new Local Plan for the county, setting out how and where development will take place across the county in the years ahead. 

This follows last month’s decision to withdraw the previous Local Plan from examination after concerns were raised by planning inspectors.

Those concerns included issues around housing land supply, reliance on proposed new settlements and how development would align with areas of demand.

The withdrawal of the plan prompted concerns that, without an up-to-date Local Plan in place, developers may be more likely to bring forward proposals on unallocated sites and that appeals against refused applications could be harder for the council to defend.

  • MS charity member marks 20 years with fundraiser

A member of the Wessex MS Therapy Centre in Warminster has marked 20 years of support from the charity by organising a fundraising tea party.

Paula Carr, who lives with multiple sclerosis (MS), has been using the centre for two decades. She decided to celebrate the milestone by bringing together fellow members, friends and supporters for the event.

The tea party raised £680 to help the centre continue providing specialist therapies, wellbeing services and support for people living with MS and other neurological conditions across the region.

“The MS centre has been such an important part of my life over the last 20 years,” said Paula. “I’ve made wonderful friends here and received so much support, so it felt only right to celebrate the milestone by giving something back. I was overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity and I’m so grateful to everyone who helped make the afternoon such a success.”

  • Warminster woman runs free water safety sessions in local schools

A swim school owner from Warminster is volunteering her time to deliver free water safety assemblies in primary schools across the area as the summer holidays approach.

Zoë Ellis, who runs SwimStars, has been visiting schools to teach children practical safety skills aimed at reducing risk around water.

She recently led sessions at the Minster CofE Primary School and Sambourne CofE Primary School, where children were taught about water safety to help them develop vital skills which could help save a life.

The sessions cover recognising hazards, the Water Safety Code, and how to respond in an emergency.

“Not every family is able to access swimming lessons, and I completely understand that,” said Zoë. “But every child should have the opportunity to learn how to stay safe around water. That’s why I wanted to take this message directly into schools.”

  • Children plant trees as symbols of school values

Pupils at a local primary school planted 20 trees on the school grounds as symbols of their values of hope, love and trust.

Students planted a mixture of crab apple, rowan and oak trees in the grounds at St John’s CofE Primary School. 

“At St John’s School, the Christian values of love, hope and trust lie at the heart of everything we do,” said assistant headteacher Charlotte Walker. “By planting their trees, St John’s students are learning that their actions do make a difference and there is hope if everyone continues to work together, not just at St John’s, but worldwide."
