  • ADPR: Did somebody say an all-in-one outdoor ramp that is weatherproof!?Non-accessible UK housing can be a real challenge for mobility aid users like myself, but @theramppeopleuk have a variety of solutions designed to work well with practically any space and make getting outdoors so much easier 👏With Accessible Homes Week just around the corner and the weather starting to transition, now is a good time to consider how you're going to get outside during the winter and start to plan a system that can handle the damp.The best bit is, my friends at @theramppeopleuk are able to provide free advice on which ramp might fit your space the best and suit your lifestyle, all you need to do is drop them a message. If you'd like a 10% discount, you can use the code 'MALIANDME' on their website and don't forget you also may be able to claim 20% VAT relief for eligible individuals & charities.Which ramp am I using? Adjustable Threshold Ramp (2ft - 8ft) with Entry Plate KitVD: A white woman with wavy brown hair, wearing a red gingham top, black trousers and red Converse. She is using a light blue wheelchair with pink wheels.(Hashtags)
