Welcome to the July Issue. Firstly I apologize for my absence and the lack of updates during last month and hope that you find this months summer focus usefull.

Make the most of the outdoors

A trip down the beach in a standard wheelchair can be a real struggle and although there are plenty of all-terrain wheelchairs on the market many are heavy, bulky and not particularly pleasing on the eye. A product that overcomes these issues is the HippoCampe.
It is collapsible, lightweight and non-bulky and also looks very well design. It is an all-terrain leisure wheelchair created by Vipamat Technologie designed to give access to the holiday facilities, the sea and outdoor activities.
