Community Equipment Help needed

Warwickshire is looking for any spare community equipment that you may have had from hospital or your GP. Nationally there appears to be shortage of this equipment – so we just want to ensure we have enough to go to those people who need it.

It could be anything from walking frames through to crutches. The complete list of equipment we are looking for includes:

·       Wheeled trollies

·       Wheeled or mobile tables

·       Perching stools

·       Crutches

·       Walking Frames (with or without wheels)

What to do

If you have had any of the above then we are asking that you or a friend or family member bring them to one of the local drop off points below.

Health and Social Care staff

If you are a key worker who visits people in their own homes – then please check to see if they have any unused equipment that they no longer need.

Where to take equipment

The unused equipment can be dropped off at any Fire and Rescue Service station in Warwickshire.
Location Drop-off days and opening times

Important information to remember:

• These drop off points will be out-doors
• A friendly Fire fighter will show you where to place the items
• You will not have to book any appointments
• Please clean the equipment with an antibacterial cleaning product prior to drop off
• Please remember to maintain a safe distance from the member of the Fire and Rescue Service when dropping off equipment.

Large or multiple items for drop off

If you have multiple, or large items of equipment you wish to be returned e.g. hoists, beds or mattresses, you can arrange a date to have these collected from your home. Please contact Millbrook Healthcare on 0333 321 8986.
