Hi @jrmplym I’m Emma, welcome to the community. That’s great, perhaps to start you could put it up on Facebook, just incase there’s a local page for these things in Plymouth, Just going to tag @Richard_Scope to see if he has any other suggestions. Please let me know how you get on, and give me a shout if you need anything at all or have any questions.

Hi @jrmplym - what a lovely idea. I hope you can find a good home for the wheelchair.

Hi there that is a lovely gesture and I hope you find a worthy new owner . Unfortunately we dont really have the sort of facility here to help you with this we dont have a market place or anything

As suggested you could advertise on local selling sites or contact a local mobility charity shop who may take it from you or donate it to a care home or hospital

What an amazing gesture and I'm sure there will be somebody that could really make use of it.
Have you tried local groups on social media?

Hello @jrmplym and welcome to our online community.  What a lovely thing to do, that's very kind.

I've moved your post to our disability aids and equipment discussion group and changed the title to help it get more attention from our members who might be on the look out.

I'd second posting it on social media.  Do you have any social media accounts you could use?

Found this on a random google and oh perfect but oops I'm years out of date, I am hoping by lack of updates that the chair did find a good home and gave somebody freedom, I give away all my old chairs too but it's hard to vet who is trying to just resell it for profit, and I'm not active enough to vet anymore. I'm hoping someone might want to give up an electric with a joystick control lately in this world and locally because I can't go outdoors, because I'm looking for one, I want to put that out to the universe please because maybe my shouts will come back to me (I'm a bit of a buddhist sometimes).
