TGA Mobility partnership with Parkinson’s UK offers discount to individuals with the condition
Mobility scooter provider TGA Mobility has partnered with Parkinson’s UK to enable customers with Parkinson’s access a 10 per cent discount on mobility scooters and wheelchairs, with every sale generating a donation back to the charity.
TGA Mobility also recently helped been helping Parkinson’s UK with the provision of its mobility scooters for Pride recently, the annual LGBT parade in London in July.
Emma Tegala, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Lead at Parkinson’s UK, said: “Parkinson’s UK is an inclusive organisation and it’s important to us that we are here for everyone living with Parkinson’s.
“Pride in London is an excellent opportunity to show that we stand proudly with our LGBTQIA+ staff, community and allies.
“TGA’s input was essential in making sure that members of the community who were not able to walk the full route could fully participate in the day and we are so thankful for all of their support.”
Pride took place in early July and Ian Temple, who has Parkinson’s, was one of the recipients able to take part in the official parade. On a TGA Vita E donated for the day, Ian revelled in the diverse spectacle that is the largest LGBT+ event in the UK.
Ian Temple: “I loved the Vita; it was incredibly comfortable with cushioning right up behind my back and easy to drive. I have advanced Parkinson’s which means I walk slowly and stiffly. I quite simply would not have been able to participate in the march without this help. We nicknamed my scooter Kylie (after Kylie Minogue), and she looked suitably Pride-worthy with the streamers and flags.”
TGA Mobility’s Breeze mobility scooter was recently chosen by the Forth and Tay Disabled Ramblers as the latest scooter to add to their collection so more people can enjoy organised outdoor adventures.
