Be Positive about Wheelchair Users! Be inclusive! Be recognised...and support a society that accepts everyone who uses a wheelchair in style!
Busy Life™ is passionate about an enabling or positive narrative of wheelchair users, whether they need one full-time or on a part-time basis. Our #Wheelchair User Collection reflects this ethos and champions the acceptance of people who need to use a wheelchair in society. There are many misconceptions, particularly, around part-time wheelchair users. We need to champion greater understanding of why someone needs to use a wheelchair either fulltime or on days where their impairment or illness presents greater challenges to their mobility. A wheelchair user is first, and most importantly a person. Just like everyone else, they have qualities to be celebrated, the right to limitless opportunities, and to pursue their dreams.
Just glance at your wrist and your Busy Life™ Notch bracelet will gently remind you that being a Wheelchair User is just one of the infinite possibilities across being human, and how you want to see a world that truly accepts everyone who uses one. Needing to use a wheelchair doesn't make you a lesser person and our society should, and needs, to accept this. The term wheelie appears in many of the phrases; I think it's a great play on words (really) and hope you do too.
Busy Life™ makes a donation to a good cause from every sale made.
NOTCH® is the fashionable, stylish, go-anywhere bracelet designed for Notches (think of them as charms, but different!). And for each Notch you add to your bracelet, you choose an inscription or personal dedication.
A Notch & Bracelet Starter Pack is the ideal way to start your NOTCH® collection and saves money too!
Simply choose a bracelet and the colour of your #Wheelchair User Notch from the menus and we'll combine them both in a single NOTCH® presentation tin or velvet pouch (chosen during checkout).

Use a tape measure to check your Wrist Size (mm). For larger wrists, select size Large but add a note on the shopping cart page asking for 'made-to-measure'. Include your accurate wrist measurement with the tape tight to your wrist. We use this as the base measurement, so it is important that you do not allow any extra room. We add the extra length needed for comfort and Notches when we cut the material.
