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

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:
https://www.scope.org.uk/support/disabled-people/search-grants
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:
