Do you have a spare walking frame, crutches or rollator walker tucked away at home? Instead of letting them gather dust, bring them to The Royal Oldham Hospital’s new walking aid recycling scheme—and turn your unwanted mobility equipment into a fresh start for someone else.
How it works:
- Drop off
• Royal Oldham Hospital, Rochdale Road (inside the main entrance)
• Link Centre, Union Street, Oldham, OL1 1DZ
• Millbrook Independent Living Centre, Keppel Building, Ashton Road West, M35 0AD - Safety first
Every aid is carefully inspected for mechanical integrity—no loose screws or worn grips escape our notice. - Spotless and & sanitised
Once declared safe, your equipment is professionally decontaminated so it’s sparkling clean and ready for its next owner. - Back into circulation
Like new walking aids return to our site stores, standing by for patients in need of a mobility boost.
Why your contribution matters:
• Stretching every pound: Reusing equipment slashes the need to buy brand-new aids, freeing up funds for vital NHS services.
• Planet-friendly impact: Fewer new products means less carbon footprint from manufacturing and delivery.
• Community spirit: Your generosity directly helps local residents regain independence and confidence.
Join us in creating a cycle of care: drop off your pre-loved aids today and be the reason someone else takes their first assured steps tomorrow.
Together, let’s keep everyone moving!
