Amelia Peckham, founded Cool Crutches after a quad bike accident in 2005 that left her reliant on mobility aids due to a spinal injury. She saw a niche in the market after hospital-issued crutches left her with painful blisters on her hands and in need of a wheelchair. Along with her mother Clare, Amelia created a range of crutches for adults and children and walking sticks that are comfortable, colourful, customisable and easy to use. The brand has fostered a community of over 100,000 living with long term conditions and disabilities and Amelia continues to advocate for the disabled community as well as growing Cool Crutches too.
