hi @phylllis
Red Cross loans mobility aids (they request donations but technically free!)
http://www.redcross.org.uk/What-we-do/Health-and-social-care/Independent-living/Mobility-aids
You could also try Freecycle - http://uk.freecycle.org/ - you can post requests for items - and if someone has one they don't need they'll give it to you for free.
