Speak to your GP if you need equipment at home or to help you get around. They can tell you about local sources of help or refer you to your local Social Services or NHS.
Your local disability information and advice line may also have details of organisations in your area that hire wheelchairs and mobility scooters. It may also be worth exploring grants.
We cannot recommend any particular products. You can follow our Pinterest boards on:
- Disability innovations
- Assistive technology
- Leisure apps
Disabled Living Foundation (DLF) provides guides for daily living. You can borrow simple electronic aids such as adapted phones and magnifiers for 2 weeks so you can see if the device works for you before buying it. (You only pay postage to return it and a refundable deposit.)The DLF also maintains the Living Made Easy website, a directory of assistive products, from clothing to personal care.
Independent Living gives unbiased advice about mobility aids and disability products.
