Compaid ambassador, Zak Skinner, wins Bronze Medal at the 2023 World Para-Athletic Championships
We are so proud to announce that Zak Skinner, Compaid’s ambassador, won a Bronze Medal in the T-13 Long Jump Men’s Final in the 2023 World Para-Athletic Championships, as well as achieving a lifetime best jump of new personal best as he jumped 6.97 metres! Compaid could not be prouder of Zak and his accomplishments in this world class event. As his manager Anna commented “It's been a challenging preparation for the current European Champion, as he's fought hamstring injury over the past year. But world class achievement doesn't come without hard work and Zak couldn't have trained harder in preparation for this competition; on the track, in the weights room, with the physio not to mention his mental preparation.” Zak has proven once again that no matter what your level of ability/disability that with hard work, commitment & determination targets and success are possible. We look forward to supporting Zak and his athletics success unfolds as we look forward to the Paralympics in Paris 2024.
Compaid Passenger celebrates 100th Birthday
Joan Martin has been travelling on Compaid’s Northwest dial-a-ride service for the last 8 years. She travels regularly to Bluewater and Dartford with her mobility scooter.She celebrated her 100th birthday at the beginning of June, so our deputy transport manager, Lynn, went up to meet her in person as they have only spoken to each other over the phone to book trips. To celebrate her amazing 100 years, her family organised a week of celebrations even bringing her granddaughters over from Australia to surprise her.She told us she had the most amazing time. Having driven her for so many years, our driver Mark presented her with flowers and a card and Lynn took her chocolates when they finally met up recently. What a pleasure it is to support such a wonderful lady through our accessible transport. To find our more about our transport services, click here: https://www.compaid.org.uk/accessible-transport/
