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.
