British Red Cross Mobility Aids Service
What the mobility aids service team can do to support individuals
The British Red Cross provide mobility aids to support individuals on a short-term basis during illness, injury, or the worsening of a long-term medical condition.
They can provide toileting aids and wheelchairs for adults and children (aged 5 and over). Their wheelchair sizes range from 13” Transit and Self-Propelled chairs up to 24” bariatric chairs.
Equipment can be collected from one of their offices in Salford or Marple or be delivered to any address in the Manchester and Greater Manchester areas.
By meeting the need for short-term wheelchair loans, the Red Cross enables people with mobility issues to:
- Be discharged from hospital
- Maintain their independence at home
- Attend hospital appointments, school, or work
- Maintain their dignity at the end of life
- Participate in family and social activities from which they would otherwise be excluded
I know I need to keep working on my physio and getting the wheelchair ironically means I’m able to move more… getting out the house for my mental health and my physical health has been amazing.
I’m loving it and now I’m so happy.
