Click here to see the profile of this user 		Wheelchairs - 2007/06/25 23:17 I am in desperate need of a new one and am struggling to find over £5k for it!

Apparently now if you want comfort, you have to pay for it (god yes!!) otherwise settle for cheap NHS!

Any ideas?

I have written to many, many charities and some are 'involving me in meetings' but not an answer or very optimistic!

I don't see why we should fork out so much for something we need and in order to live independantly!

It takes the pee

Maybe The Disabled Living Foundation could help?. http://www.dlf.org.uk

The Disabled Living Foundation Website: http://www.dlf.org.uk

The Disabled Living Foundation provides free, impartial advice about all types of equipment for older and disabled people, their carers and families.

From stairlifts to walk-in baths, jar openers to tap turners, bath seats to walking sticks, wheelchairs to scooters, hoists to beds, the DLF can help you find equipment solutions that enable you to stay active and independent.

I hope this website & its services help in some way
