Mobility &
Independent Living Service in Liverpool
THE Mobility and
Independent Living Service, based at the Lifehouse, in Summers Road,
Brunswick Dock, Liverpool was officially opened on Monday, 16 April
2012, by Sir Bert Massie CBE, the former chairman of the Disability
Rights Commission.
The new showroom-style service is being operated by Warrington
Disability Partnership working in partnership with Liverpool City
Council and Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust.
The Mobility & Independent Living Service offers a range of high
quality mobility and independent living products at competitive
prices, backed up by an extensive range of information, advice and
support services for disabled people, carers and staff from health
and social care services.
Set out in four large showrooms featuring daily living products,
bathing, beds, chairs, kitchen, toilet, office and mobility, the
range of equipment includes three and four wheeled scooters, manual
and powered wheelchairs, rise and recliner, and high back chairs,
adjustable beds, bath seats, handrails, walking sticks, ramps,
three/four wheeled walkers, batteries and tyres, backed up by a
mobility workshop and service centre located at WDP’s headquarters
in Warrington.
Gavin Thompson, from Warrington Disability Partnership, said:-
"The large showrooms are full of innovative equipment on display
for people to come along and try out and then buy if they want to.
There are kitchens, bathrooms, and stair-lifts set out so people can
try them first. We also offer contact details for over a dozen local
companies."
Dave Thompson MBE DL MBA; founder and chairman of WDP said:-
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with the City
Council, NHS and local disability organisations in Liverpool. This
service builds on the recognition we received from the Department of
Health after they reviewed our Centre for Independent Living in
Warrington. They have since promoted WDP as an example of ‘best
practice’ in terms of the development of innovative user led
services. One of the main changes we have introduced is an open door
policy, where people can call in during opening hours, without the
need of an appointment."
The showroom will be open from Monday to Friday between 9.30am and
4.30pm. For more details about this project and other WDP services
