Wheelchairs and mobility aids
Wheelchairs
Whether you need a wheelchair permanently to get about, or you just require one for a particular occasion, using a wheelchair can give you extra independence and a sense of security.
Living Made Easy provides a number of guides that can help you to choose the right wheelchair and other equipment, and give details of companies who hire out wheelchairs.
You can hire a wheelchair from the British Red Cross.
