Q6 Edge 2.0 in the workplace
Having opportunities and keeping stimulated is the aim for
most people, even when you have a disability. But how do you get across that
despite being a wheelchair user you can perform all sorts of duties? Well... thanks
to the Q6 Edge 2.0, I don't need to rely on colleagues to help me with anything.
Not only is the iLevel an advantage when reaching
for for something high..........
................ But it's also useful when transferring in and out of my
chair when I need to be on the floor with children. The Q6 Edge 2.0 seems to be
closer to the floor so getting in
and out is not an effort as it once was.
All these opportunities has won me many nominations as volunteer of the year, Although I'm sure it my personality that got me the award. But I know that the Q6 Edge 2.0 allowed me to attend these events and talk eye to eye with people.

Another year over, but I've got the iLevel now.
The party season has ended.
But thanks to iLevel, I have been much more able to be included in the whole event.
Not only was I able to dance at the same iLevel as everyone else (and not get sat on.)
My Q6 Edge 2.0 gave me the confidence to commutate and interact with more people I don’t know.

...And for the people who do know me, they
are really proud of everything I have achieved this year.
It was time to show what the Quantum Q6 Edge 2.0 could do for people who use a wheelchair... but maybe I should start with the manual.
At first the seating took a bit of getting used to, not just for driving but for eating and drinking.
But after working out why i was having trouble doing so, a small change to my seating made eating my turkey easier.

One of the highlights to the season was seeing my
friends and getting to show off my Q6 Edge 2.0. As well as having a well deserved break.
I hope you all have a good 2016 and may you reach all your goals for the
coming year.

Wessex Warries, A Day Out
I have been playing powerchair football for 5 months now.
By nature I am a very competitive person, so naturally I love the game. But it's an expensive sport, the club own the chairs for us to use, 8 in counting. So we look for sponsorship and we've been very lucky to receive this from AFC Bournemouth.

And we got a tour of the site as well. The iLevel did surprise me how at versatile it was, It could not be useful when you’re among other wheelchair users.
I could easily wait
at the back and still see what was going on.
This not only made me feel part of the event but it helped increased my concentration, I would normally only use one sense but now i could use two, my eye and ears.

The Q6 Edge 2.0 also allowed me to take photo's of where the players were when they speak and analyse there performance on TV.
This was pretty awesome and if I was in my old chair, I would have been too low and missed out on this moment.
This shot I got
someone to take, In which I moved forward to bridge a gap.
