WELCOME TO SCOOTER STORE LIMITED S
cooter Store Limited is an established company with over twenty- five years’ experience, which has become very popular especially with the elderly and disabled community nationwide.
The concept of a small, easy to use store for securing mobility vehicles has
been extremely well received by many local authorities. Housing Associations, County, City and Borough Councils as well as charitable organisations have installed Scooter Stores throughout the country with great success; whilst thousands have been exported to Europe. This has solved storage and independence issues for many people. In our experience we have found that many people who use mobility
scooters find it very difficult getting their scooter in and out of their property without help or assistance. Storing them in living rooms and hallways is not always ideal as they take up a lot of room and can cause fire hazards. The scooter store itself is simple and was designed in response to a
demand from the public. The standard unit is 1525mm long x 1220mm wide x 1070mm high and made of 2mm steel the store comes in a green finish. Bespoke scooter stores can be manufactured to different sizes to suit your specific mobility scooter requirements. Our Scooter Stores are delivered flat packed for installation to inaccessible places and are installed by our fully trained engineers. Our scooter stores are all push button controlled and fully lockable. A socket for charging the scooter is provided within the store. The Scooter Store requires very little maintenance. The Scooter Store is such a marvellous alternative which is secure and
theft proof, and because it is so easy to use independence can be greatly improved for mobility vehicle users.

£1.4 million investment to
advance cell therapy to treat hearing loss
B
IG MONEY has been secured to develop a new stem cell therapy that could potentially help restore hearing, following pioneering
research that national charity Action on Hearing Loss helped to fund What started out as a research project in Sheffield
University, is now a newly formed company called Rinri Therapeutics, which has secured £1.4 million in seed funding to further develop its work on treating neuropathic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), which affects around 34 million people in Europe. Rinri's underlying technology seeks to reverse
neuropathic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) by repairing the damaged cytoarchitecture (cellular structure) in the inner ear. SNHL happens when there is damage to cells in the cochlea or the auditory nerve. Dr Ralph Holme, Executive Director of Research at
Action on Hearing Loss, said: "We funded much of the early research carried out by Professor Rivolta’s team
showing that it is possible to generate inner ear cells from stem cells in the laboratory and then to use these to improve hearing in animal models. "We are delighted that Rinri Therapeutics has now
been established and secured private investment to continue developing this innovative treatment that could transform lives." Dr Chandler, CEO of Rinri Therapeutics, said: "I am
delighted to be leading Rinri as we work to transition our exciting preclinical program into the clinic, and to move closer to the realisation of an effective treatment for the many patients with sensorineural hearing loss." Hearing loss can have a significant impact, cutting
people off from friends and family leading to isolation and loneliness. Action on Hearing Loss helps people confronting deafness, tinnitus and hearing loss to live the life they choose, through their biomedical research, campaigns for change and services across the UK.
