Wheelchair assistance requested - should we tip?

[Mods: I'd be very grateful if you could let this run for a few days. I asked in the Disability Forum about three weeks ago without response. I'm pretty sure BA FTers will have relevant advice. Thanks.]

We have wheelchair assistance requested for bookings via LHR T5, LHR T3, ZRH, HEL, CPT and JNB in the next few weeks. I'd not thought about tipping the helper in the past, but comments in the Disability Travel forum suggest that in the US at least, tipping is normal.

What would BA FTers do? I believe some helpers are airport staff and others are volunteers. We want to do the right thing. Grateful for your advice.
