CHuC
The reasons for setting up CHuC as an Equal Ability CIC community project were to let other ceiling track hoist users know about the new facilities and when more come on line, to build up a strong business case backed by support from people who need these facilities worldwide, to encourage others to install hoists in their accommodation, to gather what little information there is on accommodation offering ceiling track hoists as an easily accessible resource for individuals and for organisations wishing, for instance, to book accessible venues for their events. And the last reason was to provide a “meeting place” for those of use who use ceiling track hoists to share information and experiences and widen the campaign for more hoists. http://chuc.org.uk
