Omg my new WAV arrived a few days ago and I’m in love!

It’s a Peugeot Boxer with an electric lift, space for two wheelchairs, two seats in the back, and three seats in the front (with added handles to help me get in and out). There are safe spaces for both my assistance dog and pet dog, with safety stalks to clip them in securely, plus manual and electric steps to make things easier for me. It even has rear air con and heating that reaches the foot area, so Fern (my assistance dog) stays super comfy. There are also two rear windows so people in the back don’t feel shut in.

The grants team and GM Coachworks were amazing — they sorted everything so I only had to pay £250, which I could manage. They really listened to my situation and did everything they could to help.

It’s honestly perfect. The fact I can fit two wheelchairs means my family and I can finally go out together without anyone being excluded. I’m so happy Fern has her own safe, comfy spot too — she’s loving it, and I feel secure knowing she’s properly catered for.

It drives beautifully, and it’s not too hard to manoeuvre thanks to the rear camera and parking sensors (though the high-up camera will take a bit of getting used to!).

Thanks to GM Coachworks, I only had to wait six months, which is almost unheard of from what i know (my previous smaller WAV took alot longer.) The base van was finished end of April, and they only took a few weeks to complete the conversion after it was delivered by the manufacturer because they knew I was desperate to catch at least the tail end of summer. I’m so grateful as i didn’t want to miss the whole summer due to my failing health.

Very happy bunny right now and ready to enjoy whats left of summer 😍
