For 2026, we're highlighting this year's theme, ‘Participation Changes Everything’, and the difference having the right equipment can make to taking part in activities that matter.

For Trudy, a medically retired RAF Senior Aircraftswoman, that means continuing her passion for sport through pickleball, with the help of her Wolturnus sports wheelchair from Recare.

Trudy says:
"The fact that I can play my favourite sport, pickleball, without needing to borrow leisure centre wheelchairs is game changing for my mental health. My Wolturnus sports wheelchair is outstanding."

Having always enjoyed sport, Trudy values not only the physical activity but also the sense of community and the joy it brings to her life.

"I first found pickleball when I attended a Help for Heroes sports event in summer 2024. If you like a sport, they encourage you to find where to play this in your local area. Trying something new tends to feel scary at first and the hardest part is reaching out and turning up the first time. What you might find is more than a sport. You might find people, confidence and a part of yourself you thought you’d lost."

Thank you to Trudy for sharing her experience.

We regularly receive enquiries for wheelchairs that can meet more specialist requirements, including bariatric wheelchairs.

Bariatric or heavy duty wheelchairs need to offer the right combination of strength, stability and comfort, with a fit that meets the user's requirements.

From our Recare range, the Wolturnus W5 XXL is a premium heavy-duty bariatric wheelchair engineered for larger users. It is a customised model and is made to fit client measurements.

Built with reinforced construction, the W5 XXL maintains excellent handling, balance and comfort. An ideal solution for professionals prescribing wheelchairs for clients who require a true XXL specification rather than a standard frame adaptation.

At Recare, we take an individual approach to wheelchair assessment, helping people explore suitable options based on their needs, environment and daily activities.

If you're looking for a bariatric wheelchair for yourself or someone you support, our team can help you explore the options available.

Jon is an internationally recognised mouth painting artist whose images are renowned in the Christmas card market.

Jon lives alone with the support of two carers 24/7. His arms and legs are permanently paralysed due to a spinal cord injury in his neck, following a motorbike accident at the age of 17.

His latest Permobil M3 Corpus powerchair enables him to continue accessing a purpose-built studio where he tends to paint five to six days a week. In between, the five-mile range on his powerchair allows him to access countryside walks, attend events and concerts.

Jon says: "It can be quite daunting looking for new equipment. I called and spoke to a Recare Assessor called Ray. He came out to assess my needs and was amazing. I was really impressed with my test drive in my house, around the garden and into my studio.

I tried the Permobil M3 Corpus as it had mid-wheel drive and immediately could see the potential it had for my needs. Ray recommended the perfect
specifications and chin controls to maximise my independence. It was remarkable."

If you would like to arrange a specialist powerchair assessment or receive expert advice, speak with one of our Recare Trusted Assessors on 01993 880200 or [email protected].

Which is the best power add-on for me? It's a question we're often asked at Recare.

The answer depends on you, your wheelchair, where you use it and what you want to achieve. That's why we recommend a free assessment with our team.

But first, let's explain a little more about power add-ons and the different options available.

A power add-on is a powered device that attaches to a manual wheelchair, providing additional assistance when the user needs it. It can reduce the physical effort needed to propel the wheelchair, while still allowing the chair to be used manually when powered assistance isn't required.

Depending on the individual's needs, a power add-on can help with:

• Reducing fatigue
• Reducing strain on the upper body
• Travelling further with less effort
• Using the wheelchair more frequently
• Greater flexibility across different environments and situations

What are the different types?

These battery-powered products can be categorised by how and where they attach to a wheelchair: at the front, in the middle, at the back, or controlled by an attendant at the rear.

There is also a wide variety of battery sizes to choose from, depending on the distance and level of power required. In certain products you can achieve up to 60 miles on a single charge with heavy duty batteries.

👉 If you'd like more information, to arrange an assessment, or wish to receive our free Recare Power Add-On Guide - contact us on 01993 880200 or [email protected].
