Folding wheelchair loan

[lizbells6]

My adult daughter's wheelchair has broken and she needs one Wednesday/Thursday.

If anyone has a self propelling, folding one they could lend her, we would be really grateful.

Many thanks,

Liz

Hi, I don't have one to lend I'm afraid, but have you tried the Red Cross?

Thanks for your reply Ilona but the nearest Red Cross places in Bromley and Croydon are only open a for couple of hours a week for collection and the timings don't work for today.

We've managed to do a temporary repair and hope it lasts!

Oh dear, Red Cross not as handy as I had hoped. Hopefully someone will come up trumps on the Forum. Otherwise would Southwark OT team (020 7525 3324) be able to help or suggest somewhere local?

Thanks again Ilona. We ended up having to buy one ☹️
