Rudy’s story

A powered wheelchair from Newlife has opened up the world for Rudy, allowing him much more freedom and independence and to enjoy outdoor activities with his family and friends.

Using his old NHS wheelchair was uncomfortable for Rudy. It would bounce him around if it went over the slightest bump, which made it too difficult to go anywhere the terrain was anything other than smooth and flat. Rudy was also unable to self-propel his old wheelchair, so needed to be pushed everywhere.

But thanks to Newlife, a powered wheelchair means Rudy can go to many more places in comfort.

The new wheelchair is so much better and enables Rudy to do so much more. It’s brilliant to use outside and it can be used on the beach, we can go to farms now because it can handle the rougher, muddier terrain, and we can go strawberry picking as a family too and he can go and watch his cousin play rugby – which he’s never been able to do before.

As well as using the power to help us push him, Rudy can use it to get around – and we can control the speed – which will give him more independence too. We feel like we can go anywhere now.
AMY, RUDY’S MUM
