Disability Equipment Loan Service
Following an accident or injury, members may need the
short term use of items of disability equipment, such as a
wheelchair or walking aid. Although these are available to
buy in ‘Orthopaedicas’ in town, I have not yet located any
loan service.
Thanks to donations from various Club members, I have
the following equipment in store –
A standard adult size self-propelling folding wheelchair
with detachable foot rests
adjustable height folding walking frames
crutches
an adjustable height shower chair
a raised toilet seat
a lumbar / thoracic body brace
leg splints and orthopaedic boot / lower leg brace
This equipment if available for short term loan free of
charge. Do get in touch if you need help – Phone 8707
2921 or email casaceltas@gmail.com
