Clarion Gaming chose the international platform provided by ICE London for the delivery of two bespoke powered wheelchairs to twin sisters Ava and Nieve Paling. This donation has been made possible in conjunction with CHIPS, a charity founded on behalf of the UK gaming industry.
According to Clarion Gaming, Ava and Nieve Paling, 13, have a diagnosis of spastic paraplegia which causes fatigue and reduced strength, with the gifts of independence and freedom at an important stage in their social development.
Linda Lindsay, co-founder of CHIPS, said: “On behalf of the charity, my Trustees and most importantly Ava, Nieve and the family I would like to place on the record my heart-felt thanks to Stuart and the entire team at Clarion Gaming for their fantastic and generous support.”
She added: “With the twins becoming teenagers they naturally want to spend time with their friends but without an adult to push them, their independence has been severely restricted. Mum cannot push both girls together, which means that going out as a family has become impossible.
Linda Lindsay has explained that these lightweight chairs financed by Clarion Gaming will transform the lives of Ava, Nieve and their families.
On the other hand, Stuart Hunter, General Manager of Clarion Gaming, stated: “We are delighted to support CHIPS which is a fantastic charity that’s part of the fabric of the land-based gambling industry. Neither Linda or her fellow trustees claim a penny in expenses which means that 100% of the funds raised go towards the purchase of bespoke chairs. Presenting close to 600 powered wheelchairs and changing so many lives in the process is a phenomenal achievement and as a team we are proud to contribute to the CHIPS success story.”
