What we do
We provide long term loan (over 6 months) of wheelchairs.
We also provide wheelchair pressure cushions and postural support, to clients who need them indoors and outdoors or to access mainstream services such as education, employment, or day-care.
What we don't do
- Provide short term loans or static seating
- Sell equipment or mobility scooters
- Provide powerpacks
Personal Wheelchair budget (PWB)
If you are eligible for the provision of a wheelchair by the NHS, we access the PWB scheme. Under this scheme, you have the option to pay for add on features or to choose to purchase a wheelchair that is not on the NHS provision list with initial financial support from us.
Please see the PWB leaflet for more information.
Appointment Do’s and Don’ts
Clients will be expected to attend clinic for appointments. Home visits will only be offered in exceptional circumstances.
Slings
Please ensure you bring any equipment you require for transferring in and out of your wheelchair. We have a hoist but would recommend you bring your own slings.
Interpreters
If you require an interpreter, you must call the service to request this at least 7 days before your appointment.
