A Logística SCS baseada em Heysham enviou um transporte acessível a cadeira de rodas de 10.000 libras de Dorset para a Ilha de Man gratuitamente recentemente, para apoiar o transporte de manx que dirige 4 desativado (MCD4D). O organizador do grupo para MCD4D Elizabeth Lillie diz que o transporte para esse transporte normalmente custaria até 600 libras, mas a Logística do SCS se recusou a aceitar o pagamento. A condução de carruagem é extremamente libertadora ”, diz Lillie. “As carruagens têm rampas na parte traseira para permitir o acesso a cadeira de rodas e os assentos são removíveis, com grampos para prender a cadeira da roda.”
The specially-crafted Phoenix Freedom carriage was donated by Manx Charitable Trust. Group organiser for MCD4D Elizabeth Lillie says the transport for such a carriage would normally have cost them up to £600 but SCS Logistics refused to accept payment.
“The charity approached us with every intention of paying but when we discovered what the carriage was for we were happy to help them,” says SCS MD Sandra Cottam-Shea.
“For the disabled or wheelchair-bound carriage driving is hugely liberating,” says Lillie. “The carriages have ramps at the back to allow wheelchair access, and the seats are removable, with clamps to secure the wheel chair.”
A caridade, que executa quatro sessões de direção por mês, depende inteiramente de doações e voluntários. "O MD de SCs retirou todas as paradas para nos ajudar, e estamos muito agradecidos", diz ela. crescimento.
SCS Logistics is also supporting the ‘One woman at a time’ charity, which aims to eradicate female genital mutilation and improve education prospects for women in African villages, and ‘Wheels for Women’ which raises money to provide motorised rickshaws for Indian women to enable small business growth.
