Ableworld Thatcham

Here at Ableworld, the UK's leading Mobility Retailer, we are set to open our 39th new Mobility and Stairlift superstore in Thatcham, Berkshire, in March 2023. 

The Ableworld Thatcham store will be a company owned superstore, situated in the middle of Ableworld Reading and Ableworld Gloucester in the thriving South West region.

The 2500 sq. ft superstore will stock Ableworld's full range of mobility products, including Mobility Scooters, Wheelchairs, Walkers and their extensive range of Riser Recliner Chairs. The store will also have a stairlift demonstration area, with the company employing a stairlift engineer to install and service stairlifts to the local Thatcham area. Whatever the product, the aim at Ableworld is to help people to lead easier, more comfortable, and independent lives.

The new Thatcham superstore is due to open to the public on 16th March 2023, with superb opening offers available, alongside our current amazing Winter Sale offers. The Ableworld teams are busy getting the store ready for what will hopefully be a successful opening period, leading into their Spring promotion. 

We look forward to sharing further store updates across our website and Facebook page in the coming weeks so be sure to keep an eye out!

Celebrating Pancake Day with Ableworld

This entry was posted in February 16, 2023

Pancake Day is creeping up on us, and whether you like your pancakes sweet or savoury, fluffy or thin, they allow you to be as creative as you want with your recipes. But arguably your choice of topping is the most important part, so which ones your favourite? Are you a Nutella lover, maple syrup gorger, whipped creamer, banana and berries or a classic sugar and lemon topper?

What is pancake day? Pancake Day is a traditional feast day 40 days before the lead up to Easter, although the name of the day varies where you in the world - from ‘Mardi Gras’ in USA and France to ‘Shove Tuesday’ in Brazil and Italy - in one way or another the day is celebrated by many. Traditionally, the period of time between Pancake Day and Easter is used as a time of fasting, and many people choose to give up rich, sweet (naughty!?) foods in this period – so it makes complete sense, we stuff out faces the day before this starts!

Let’s strip everything back and look at a classic pancake recipe. Pancakes are quick and cheap to make – all you’ll need is egg, flour, milk and of course any toppings your hearts desires. Wisk all the ingredients up into a smooth batter, then pour into a flying pan over a medium heat until golden brown. Eat as many as pancakes as you want at your own risk!

We understand sometimes the simplest tasks can be the most difficult and if you struggle with motor mobility in your hands, but still want to make pancake day to be a day to remember we have a range of kitchen aids available – from Utensil sets to help with grip and improved independence to jar openers, and bowls to aid your pancake-making process.  

However, you choose to celebrate pancake day just make sure you devour lots of them!

Keeping Fit With Ableworld - An Introduction 

This entry was posted in February 10, 2023

Here at Ableworld we understand the service we provide helps customers regain their independence through the products we provide.

We will carry on with this mission as we have done since the very first day we opened. However, we understand that requiring a mobility aid is the very last option our customers wish to take. That’s why we want to introduce a new bog series aptly named ‘Keeping fit with Ableworld’, where we shall discuss different approaches to living a more active a healthy lifestyle.

If you come along on this journey with us, we hope to provide you with the tools, products and protocols to keep you mobile for longer.  The blog will run on a monthly basis so make sure to keep an eye out on our socials, or just check our blog page when you can.

It’s a known fact that as we age our physical capabilities begin to decline. However, what we don’t realise is the rate at which we begin to lose our strength and mobility. Did you know that after the age of 30 our muscle mass starts to decrease by 3-8% each decade. After the age of 50 this figure starts to drastically increase!

You may not have any interest in your muscle mass at this point but believe me, you will!

Muscle mass plays a very important role in retaining our mobility and should be taken seriously by those of all ages. The benefits of maintaining your muscle mass will mean the difference between living comfortably and struggling to complete everyday tasks. Afterall, a healthy amount of muscle mass helps improve posture, mobility and even reduces the risk of fractures when you fall.

If we do not stay active in our later years we run the risk of letting our muscles weaken. Factors that will determine the speed of our muscle loss will include exercise frequency, our ability to fight illness and hereditary issues.

We understand that not all of us are equal and some may struggle to do the things others can, but do not despair and do what you can. You will benefit from it, as will those closest to you!

This blog will cover a wide range of topics to help provide you with some important information in regards to your health. Starting with strength we will cover other areas such as bone density, cardiovascular health and flexibility. We will also look into illnesses that effect most of our aging population including arthritis, depression and dementia.

We want our customers to live long and happy lives and that includes independence through mobility. If you value your health and fitness then join Ableworld on our journey to explore the ways of prolonging our MOBILITY!
