Thanks for sharing these @EmmaB. Have you been writing for the magazine long?
Scope
If you have a few minutes to spare, we'd appreciate your feedback on our online community.
I've been writing for Lifestyle for about 14 years now... under my writing name of Emma Bowler, which differs to my now real life name of Emma West!

I have just received my copy of “lifestyle “ today and went straight to your article .
On your bike indeed !!
It was exceedingly well written and very informative and I feel sure that there will be a great deal of interest in your article .I for one had no idea that there were so many ways with bikes for disabled people ..
As for lending a paw on page 41 and being a dog lover myself I found the article fascinating and full of information.
A huge boost for disabled people
I read your feature, very good indeed.
Funny thing about the latest Lifestyle, it had some great news for Motability, which I was not sure if I could report on here.
The good condition payment when you return your car, has gone up to £600 on three year lease and £900 after 5 year lease.
You can have tyres replaced/repaired at home by Kwik Fit, this is a new service.
You can get a light weight manual wheelchair, which can be kept in you car, for a modest fee £100 (one off payment).
Dealerships deal with the request.
There was a good feature about remote control devices that can be linked to your car.
Hope this helps.
@atlas46 I thought the wheelchair thing was interesting too and worth mentioning as I'm sure a lot of people won't be aware of it; I know Motability are always looking to improve and expand what they offer. I'm hoping they'll start introducing electric cars at some point...

I just noticed on this thread you have been doing features for lifestyle for 14years, in which time I have an avid reader of yours!
Look at page 5, it’s an advert for the new BMW i3, new electric car, now available on the scheme.
For additional information, there is one other e-car on the scheme at present.
Your wish has come true about e-cars are now available for scheme members to consider and will take a look at the BMW, in due course.
I like the look of tha BMW I'm not sure I'd get my husband, 2 children, 2 small mobility scooters and 2 small dogs in it though 😲 always a bit of an issue when considering a car! I'm off to the One Big Day tomorrow in Exeter it will be interesting if they have the BMW there to see.
I've always enjoyed writing for Lifestyle and elsewhere previously and will hopefully keep going with it for a good deal longer 😁.
All the best.

You'd need to pitch your idea to the magazine - there is an e mail under editorial contacts towards the front of the magazine.
Lifestyle like positive, 'can do' articles!
All the best.

Maybe think about things that you feel you have expertise on or that might inspire others?
I hope that helps!
