Profiling bed I can't get rid of
About 7 years ago I was given a profiling bed for my son who used to visit me at week-ends. My son has since stopped staying overnight and I don't need the bed anymore.
The problem is that the NHS supplier has no record of the bed in their computer system and won't take it back! I've tried everything I can to give this back to them - including contacting the council and even writing to my MP. I'm at a total loss of what to do.
Any advice? I'd love to gift it to a charity or someone that needs it but have no idea how to find someone like this.

A profiling bed looks like this (this is not my bed, I found this picture online).
You can move it up and down via the controls and the side rails go up and down to stop you falling out.

British Heart Foundation take furniture to sell, you can do a simple Google search for "furniture charity" + local area name to find organisations in your area.
