The National Trust’s Wimpole Estate Case Study
Case Studies
Occupational Therapist Louise
Occupational therapist, Louise Kimber, of Berkshire Council contacted us last year to arrange two home assessments for paediatric stair climbers, both children, under the age of 4, were living at home with severe disabilities and were having to be carried upstairs by family members.
Occupational Therapist Mirium
We were contacted by Mirium in April 2023 as she has a client who was recently diagnosed with MND. The client had been housebound at this stage for 8 weeks and time now was of the essence to support the family.
Bexley Borough Council
Back in 2018 we worked closely with Bexley Borough Council to provide full access to Danson House when they had a persistent lift failure. Danson House is a heritage building within Danson Park in Bexley. Danson House is used for a range of ceremonies and it is essential it is kept accessible at all times.
City of Bath
In 2018 we were approached by The City of Bath to provide access to initially their Guildhall. This was closely followed by access to the Roman Baths and the Art gallery. This provision made Bath the first fully accessible world heritage site to wheelchair users.
Colchester United FC
Sean McQuaid at the JobServe Community Stadium recently approached us requiring training for stewards on their evacuation chairs. We conducted a thorough servicing process on all chairs and tested them to meet PUWER regulations.
Immediate Media
Hoping to develop his career, Dan applied for a promotion at the Hammersmith head offices of Immediate Media. As a wheelchair user however, this created an issue for the company's facility manager Edel. As the firm's offices were based above the ground floor, he understood that in the event of evacuation Dan would be unable to transfer from his wheelchair and therefore at potential risk.
Twickenham Rugby Stadium
Twickenham Rugby Stadium is dedicated to ensuring full accessibility across its venue. When the Level 2 bar required enhanced access for wheelchair users, they turned to The Stair Climbing Company for a solution.
