We have been devastated this week with the news that Keighley Cougar’s player, Danny Jones, passed away on Sunday from a suspected cardiac arrest. As the main sponsor of the club, we were with the team and the fans at the Cougar’s v London Skolars game where the tragic event happened.
He leaves wife Liz and five month old twins.
We are working closely with Keighley Cougars to organise Sunday’s game against Coventry, which is going ahead at the request of Danny’s family. The support so far has been unbelievable and the ground is set to be full in honour of Danny.
We want help raise as much money as possible for the Danny Jones benevolent fund which will go to his family. A third of ticket sales will go towards this alongside many other fundraising events happening on Sunday. We recommend purchasing beforehand to avoid disappointment on the day. You can buy online here, down at the ground this week, the shop here in A1 Stairlifts Showroom on South Street Keighley, or you can buy on the day but tickets are not guaranteed.
There is also a Danny Jones just giving page for those who want to show their support but cannot attend on Sunday. https://www.justgiving.com/dannyjones29
We hope to see as many of you as possible down at the game on Sunday KO 3pm.

Thanks to the ever rising life expectancy age, people are enjoying life for longer. As a result, increasingly more elderly people are finding it difficult to stay independent in their home. Alongside that, most people in life will experience some form of disability which can occur naturally, from old age, health issues or an accident.
What is the first step to adapting my home?
The initial stage is to fully understand your disabilities so that your needs can be reviewed and evaluated this will help plan for now and potential future changes. Everyone is completely different and your local occupational therapist can be consulted to discuss this is more detail.
What changes need to be made to my home for my disability needs?
Depending on your needs, the possible changes to your home can be wide ranging from ensuring your front entrance is wide enough to fit a wheelchair or scooter, installing equipment such as bath lifts and stairlifts, adding hand rails in relevant places, making hallways and corridors wider, placing visual or hearing aids around the home, to motion sensors in case of a fall and emergency needs.
I need a stairlift…
We have been in the stairlift industry for many years and have expert knowledge of makes, models, sizes, fitting, engineering and servicing. Whether you need a curved, straight, want a brand new one or value for money reconditioned, need heavy duty, outdoor or bespoke, we can deal with all stairlift needs. We offer excellent warranties and after sale services.
I know what adaptations I need to make to my home, what do I do now?
Before you do anything, it is worth finding out if you are entitled to financial help with your home adaptations. Find out more by contacting citizen advice. Or speak to your local social services department at the council. They can arrange for someone to assess your situation and determine what help and funding is at hand.

Following the OTC show last November, we’ve been in discussions with Age Concern Birmingham regarding our offering and have this week signed a contract to provide mobility solutions to its customers.
The charity was really interested in our well-rounded, affordable and environmentally friendly proposition. We are experts in the stairlift and mobility industry and specialise in reconditioned stairlifts – giving back like-brand-new stairlifts to the community at affordable prices. And we also offer stairlift and scooter recycling solutions.
Customers of Age Concern Birmingham can now take full advantage of stairlift recycling and our affordable mobility products, giving them peace of mind and ensuring they’re making the most of their lifestyle.
Why use a recondition stairlift or mobility scooter?
Our reconditioned and recycled stairlifts and mobility scooters are just as good as new. They come with a 12 month warranty and reconditioned products maintain a virtuous circle for the environment and the community. Re-using the parts protects the environment and any parts that we can’t use are disposed of in a responsible way.
Our Stairlift and Mobility Scooter Recycling Scheme operates UK wide. We provide a valuable service to the community and the environment by removing, reconditioning and recycling unwanted stairlifts and mobility scooters. In most cases free of charge. The only times we would charge is if the stairlift is more than 7 years old. Here we would charge £95 for the stairlift (chairlift) removal.
If you have an unwanted stairlift, by recycling your stairlift or mobility scooter with us you are helping someone in the community.
If you’re an Age Concern branch, or a charity and are looking for a partner to help with mobility and recycling solutions, we’d be delighted to speak to you.

This year we have launched a campaign to give something back to the community. Each month of 2015 we’re giving one free fully fitted straight stairlift to a deserving case. In January Mark Mayman was nominated by his wife Jean as he suffers from muscular dystrophy. Mark needed a stairlift as getting up and down the stairs was proving difficult for both him and his wife. Since it was fitted, his home life has become much easier.
Said Mark: “I am absolutely delighted with my new stairlift. A huge thank you to my wife for nominating my case and to A1 Stairlifts for supporting those that have a real need and perhaps for one reason or another haven’t been able to have a stairlift previously. I have health issues and struggled to get up and down the stairs. Now life at home is so much easier.”
We’re asking for your nominations. If you know someone who would benefit from a free straight stairlift, please get in touch: headoffice@a1stairlifts.co.uk or call 01535 612160 or send to us in the post: A1 Stairlifts Ltd.

Did you know that over five million older people are affected by loneliness and this is on the rise?
We meet elderly and disabled people on a daily basis and understand how wide spread loneliness is and what an awful effect it can have on people’s lives. As a result we want to help Friends of the Elderly on their campaign to combat the issue. In partnership with StairliftRecycling.co.uk and Keighley Cougar’s Rugby Club we’re hosting a Be A Friend tea party on Wednesday 25 March from 2pm in our lovely new showroom.
Everyone is invited to come along and enjoy the entertainment, free refreshments, cakes and scones – please feel free to bring along your own baking to share with the group. Whether by yourself, with a friend or family member, the tea party is a chance to get out of the house, meet like-minded people, catch up with friends and chat the afternoon away at your leisure. 
We’re also looking for volunteers to Be A Friend for the afternoon and to help out with the event. Contact 0808 178 8487 or email headoffice@a1stairlifts.co.uk for more information.
10% of any sales made on the day will go to Friends of the Elderly charity.
Our showroom is based on 56 South Street, Keighley, West Yorkshire, BD21 1DD.
