Does anyone know of a/the Charity, which takes old wheelchairs, refurbishies them and uses them in developing countries, or something similar?

my partner knows there are one or two, from his days working within the Disability Advice world but, that was a long time ago and he can't remember know.

We have 3 frames plus wheels, all need refurb but, they maybe of use to some charity.

He's having a new chair later in the year and will be keeping the one he has as spare, so no longer needs the rest as spares

Thanks

Maria
