Funded Item | Lightweight Wheelchair

Chris, who is tetraplegic following an accident in his early 20's, recently developed an immune system syndrome which has weakened his muscles. After an extended stay in hospital in 2020 it became clear that his old wheelchair was no longer suitable as it was too heavy for him to manoeuvre effectively. "I am writing to say a big thank you for the £2,500 you donated towards a new lightweight wheelchair. Along with some funding from wheelchair services I managed to get enough funds to purchase the chair. I now have my new chair and I love it. It has already made a huge difference to my independence and Wellbeing. I feel so much more confident. Thank you once again."
