Hi I've been to my local services today and they have offered a manual wheelchair which is no good as my partner is also disabled. I can not be offered a powerchair as I can walk even if it only a short distance. I can't get one on mobility any ideas? Thanks

Hi @Debs00
Welcome to our community.
Here are some ideas that might help.Another option might be seeking charitable funding. Scope is not a grant-giving organisation there is a grant search tool that you can find on the Scope website at:
it may help you to identify grant-giving organisations that you could apply to for funding.
One organisation that I have know some people get support from is:
Scope
Specialist Information Officer and Cerebral Palsy Programme Lead'Concerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.'

Not being rude but I bought both of mine new on line one for shopping trips lives in the car apart for charging the battery pack several months before getting mobility allowance. Try charities there may be one that helps former employees of certain trades or professions.

You can buy powerchairs online. Many offer monthly instalments.Sarah
