We’ve got some big news to share with you. Key equipment from the Jenx range is returning. 🎉

We know that this key 24-hour postural care range - which includes the Monkey Prone Stander and Dreama Sleep System - has been greatly missed over the last 12 months, with many of you getting in touch to ask if and when it would return.

We’re now delighted to confirm that, after identifying alternative manufacturing facilities, the long-term future of these select Jenx products is secure and we are integrating them into our wider equipment portfolio.

To accompany their return, we’ve launched ‘Shape Their Day’ - a new education platform for therapists supporting children with disabilities.

Paediatric therapists are often battling against capacity pressures, changing product availability, and a lack of specialist training opportunities, meaning that keeping up to date with 24-hour postural care strategies and equipment can be challenging.

Shape Their Day is designed to help by bringing together practical education and product guidance in one accessible hub. It will support busy therapists to deepen their understanding of 24-hour postural management and explore which Jenx equipment can best support patients with sitting, standing, sleeping or lying.

🚲🦒 Ready to ride at Kidz Scotland?

We’re heading to Kidz to Adultz Exhibitions Scotland on 15th September at the SEC Centre, Glasgow – but you won’t find us behind an exhibition stand!

Instead, we’re running the Jiraffe Trike Track, giving children the chance to jump on a Rifton Adaptive Tricycle and experience the fun and freedom of adaptive cycling. 💛

And there’s a little something to take home too… 🎁

Every child deserves the chance to join in.

Whether it's taking part in classroom activities, moving between lessons or chatting with friends, these everyday moments help children learn, grow and feel included.

For children with additional physical needs, the right support can make all the difference.

The Rifton Mobile Stander and Rifton Pacer Gait Trainer are designed to help children move more independently, explore their surroundings and participate more fully in school life.

Because inclusion isn't just about being in the classroom—it's about being able to take part.

Read our latest blog to discover how movement can support learning, confidence and participation in schools, and find out how our team can help you choose the right solution for your setting.

For many children, learning to ride a bike is a milestone that brings freedom, confidence, and independence. But for children with additional needs, cycling isn't always easy to access.
Balance can be challenging.

Coordination may require extra support.

Standard bikes don't always provide the stability needed to feel safe and in control.
Without the right equipment, opportunities for independent movement and participation can become limited.

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘧𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘈𝘥𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘺𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯.

Designed to support the child, not replace their effort, it helps create the confidence and stability needed for independent movement.

✅ Stable three-wheel design for added security
✅ Adjustable seating and positioning supports
✅ Adaptable steering and pedal options
✅ Encourages independent exploration and play
✅ Promotes confidence, inclusion, and participation

When children feel supported, they are more willing to try. And with every successful ride comes greater confidence, independence, and belief in what is possible.
Because movement is about more than mobility, it's about giving children the opportunity to take part, explore, and lead in their own way.
