In April 2025 we purchased a new EV with wheelchair access following a successful grant application.

The Peugeot Horizon  offers safe, secure and user-friendly wheelchair travel. It can also be ideal for carrying a scooter without the need for a boot hoist. The innovative ‘fold flat’ ramps can be used as a floor when the wheelchair is not on-board.

Enabling us to help fight against climate change and become more efficient. 

Congratulations to our lucky winner!

Sadly we didn’t win the category but it was fabulous to be shortlisted and recognised for the work that goes on and it was lovely to celebrate all the great work taking place in Powys.

Home support is going from strength to strength, we are currently supporting 343 service users. 195 of these service users have a careline alarm in place which we respond to. In the last 2 months we have responded to 12 callouts during office hours 7 of these callouts were to assist with falls. We had 17 out of hours callouts of which we supported 10 service user who had fallen. The remaining callouts were to support with personal care, careline issues, emotional support, and no response calls. 

Here are some comments from our services users: -

“Thank you so much for the support the team has provided me. It has been a pleasure having such a supportive team that I have felt connected to”

“Your support has been a lifeline to us”

“Your service is amazing; you are all so helpful”

“It was so reassuring to know you were there whenever my mum needed help”

"You have supported with conversations with 'A'  and helped me build trust and a relationship.  You have advocated for 'A' and you have been an important link between social services and 'B'.  

You have helped in terms of trying to support the building of a relationship between social services.  You also tried to support with convincing 'B' that a care home would be a good option for her in order to leave hospital and as an interim measure. 

 You have been a go to for me when I have needed to link with both.  You supported in terms of arranging for the delivery of equipment to home and I know that both hold you in high regard and trust you which is a very difficult thing to have achieved"
