Does anyone know where I could donate my old wheelchair too? I'm buying a new one and though my chair is old I'm sure someone could put it to good use.

I look forward to your thoughts.

Hi Brendan,

You could give the spinal unit a ring, I'm sure they'll have someone who could use it.

I'd ring the physio department.

Regards

Simon.

I live in the states and gave my old chair to the Disabled veterans admin.

Local Lions Clubs as well as places called Wheel chair recycelables...possicbly call your Rehab Dr. or physical therapist they may know someone as well that could use it.
