If you like practical activities such as fixing, servicing, and cleaning equipment then this could be the role for you. Volunteers like you provide people in their local community with wheelchairs and other equipment to help them get moving again after an illness or injury. Whether it is to help take a relative out, or take a child to school, it makes a difficult and distressing time a little bit easier. Spread the power of kindness with us and help make sure that everyone who needs one can get a wheelchair.
Ideally you will live within roughly 10 miles of the volunteering opportunity.

The Sheffield Mobility Aids service will be opening up at end of September 2021 so initial training for this role will take place at our Manvers office (Unit 9a Brookfields Way, Manvers, Wath upon Dearne, S63 5DL). **
