Wheelchair Hire |
British Red Cross
Medical Loan Equipment Locations |
Many of you have asked us where you can hire those “energy saving” things called wheelchairs from. So, in demand to your request, please find listed all the locations in the North East. There are various opening/closing times, so I would suggest you call first. The British Red Cross can loan items of medical equipment, such as
wheelchairs, bed rests and commodes, to people on a short term basis
going through a personal crisis, or to enable then to go on holiday
or to have an early release from hospital. The service is free of charge
but they do request a refundable deposit and would ask if you would
be able to make a donation to enable them to continue the service they
provide to high standards. |
