EQUIPMENT LOAN SCHEME AND SECOND HAND EQUIPMENT
The scheme enables you to try larger pieces of equipment in your home, so you can be sure it is the most appropriate for you before purchasing your own. The service is free of charge but in order to be considered for the scheme, we ask that you call us for full details and book an appointment to visit the Centre to try the equipment we have available first. Please call on 01702 342131. Please note this scheme relies on donated equipment from our members who no longer require it, so we are unable to guarantee what is available at any time. We also have some small second-hand items for sale in our Centre which can include: hand held magnifiers, talking clocks and big button landline phones. Please call us to find out what is currently in stock.
