Adjustable desk not working but due to return to work

Hi all, it's my first time here so please bear with me. I have been shielding since March but had notification in June that the adjustable desk (one that lowers and raises to allow me to sit and stand as and when I need due to back and mobility issues) is not working. Yesterday I was told that it still isn't fixed and I am due to return to work in 4 days. They are fully aware that I am unable to sit and work as a call handler for a full shift without this desk. Sorry this was long but does anyone have any advice?

Have you looked into 'access to work' they provide equipment and fund some adaptions to allow people to remain in work.
You have to apply rather than the employer but it may be an option to get a new desk or the one you have repaired, Im sure it wont happen overnight but may help with the cost
I hope you get it sorted so you can return to work
HR can only help from company view and that maybe the problem that they dont have funds to replace which is where access to work would come into play
Yes I have used “Access to Work” a number of times in the past.

Just a little update. I went to work this morning not sure if the desk had been fixed as HR had not replied to my emailS. It was still broken. The only other adjustable desk on another floor....also broken so have had to come home.
