This guidance on selling/disposing of second-hand disability equipment may be helpful- have a read, and do come back to us with any queries.
As you are in the Wakefield area you could try offering the wheelchair to: Wakefield DIAL http://www.dialwakefield.co.uk/services.html , a local charity which rents out wheelchairs to people at a low cost. If they don't want it they may well have local knowledge of where you can take it.
