Independent Living Solutions from N&C Phlexicare F
OR OVER 40 years N&C Phlexicare have led the way in healthcare products with an extensive range of independent living solutions, that allow for complete independence within the home. Nearly half a century ago, two forward thinking individuals began what has become the leading manufacturer and distributor of products for the elderly and disability market. Ken Forbes (Now Group Chairman) and Lesley Mason recognised that
individuals had very little product available in order to be able to live comfortably and confidently at home without relying on others. Since this, we have designed and manufactured many daily living solutions which have helped those to live independently in the comfort of their own homes.
N&C Phlexicare design, manufacture and distribute an extensive range of bathroom, wet rom, daily living, access, wall and floor and kitchen solutions within the
healthcare market. All of which are inspirational by design, functional by nature and produced using high quality materials. We help to enable freedom and independence for users with different capabilities.
The ethos of N&C Phlexicare is simple:
• Design products to give back people their dignity and independence • Give value for money • Be of practical use and improve the quality of life • Create independent living solutions without compromising on design
Phlexicare is part of the Nicholls and Clarke Group of companies and is the only company in the UK that can provide a truly ‘One stop shop’ for independent living. View N&C Phlexicare’s full range online today.

Closure of RNIB’s Giant Print Library T
HE RNIB Giant Print Library and Moon Library in Peterborough will close on 31 January 2021, with customers being notified
by letter.
David Clarke, RNIB Director of Services, said: “The shift in the way our library users now access books through mainstream devices such as the iPad and Amazon Kindle, where font sizes and colours are easily adjustable, has meant that operating a traditional giant print and Moon library is no longer sustainable. “We understand the decision will disappoint some customers who still use the service, however borrowing numbers have been steadily falling, and the cost to run the service has continued to rise. “We know reading is important to our customers
and large print formats will still be available from our free Personal Transcription Service, which will produce books in bespoke large print for customers on request. We will also continue to offer accessible books and reading materials in other formats. These are available through RNIB’s own free Online Reading Library, which is the largest of its kind in the UK, our braille library and Talking Books service. Our Library and Tech for Life Teams will also be on hand to support and guide customers through the transition. “We will be offering customers, including schools, the opportunity to keep books that they order from now on until the service is finally closed. Any books that are not gifted to customers will be donated overseas to a number of organisations that RNIB has sent books to over many years.”
About RNIB
We are the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB). Every six minutes, someone in the UK begins to lose their sight. RNIB is taking a stand against exclusion, inequality and isolation to create a world without barriers where people with sight loss can lead full lives. A different world where society values blind and partially sighted people not for the disabilities they’ve overcome, but for the people they are.
