The wheelchair handover of 10 and 12 May 2024

Four photographs in the trust’s records, dated 10 and 12 May 2024, show a wheelchair given to a man.

Dates in this post are the dates in the file names of the photographs on the volunteers’ phones.

The pictures

A wheelchair stands in a room with a bookshelf and a guitar, still in its box in one picture. Volunteers gather around a man at his home and hand over the chair. In the last picture the man sits in the new wheelchair with volunteers standing behind him.

What a wheelchair changes

A person who cannot walk can reach a clinic, a market or a relative’s house. A child can reach school. It does not replace ramps or kind neighbours, but it is the first step.

If you have a wheelchair to give

Clean, working chairs in good repair are useful. Call the trust before you bring one so that a volunteer can meet you and tell you who needs it.
