All NHS equipment is owned by the NHS and must be returned to the NHS for disposal. We are not allowed to collect such items other than from the NHS itself if they deem the item to be unusable by the NHS.
All mobility aids collected by us are sent, through Rotary, to Southern Africa for repair/ refurbishment and allocation, free of charge, on the basis of need.
We can only collect mobility aids, which in this case now means: wheelchairs, buggies, Rolators crutches and Zimmer frames. We are not allowed to export other items that you may regard as mobility aids.
If in doubt contact us at
freewheelingsw@gmail.com - (as in freewheeling South West).
We can normally only collect within a limited distance of Frome and the Wiltshire/ Somerset border, if in doubt contact us anyway!
Rotary in Frome is the name used by the three Rotary Clubs based in Frome when undertaking projects together.
