Does anybody know if there is a place in Kent/south east London that you can rent wheelchairs from?
Hi Marnie, your best bet is to contact either your OT if you have one, or your GP. Your GP surgery should have a number for you to call in order to rent/hire a wheelchair usually free of charge for a certain amount of time. I say this because our GP surgery offers this service.
Good luck

Hi Marnie,
I have heard that the Red Cross loan out 'medical aids' - as it is only hearsay can't guarantee it but you could 'phone your nearest branch and ask the question if you have had no luck.with OT or GP.

I was going to suggest the Red Cross too - I'm sure they do this.
local hospital?
The red cross lady was so rude. Nearly had me in tears. I asked what time they are open and asked if they were open on Saturday's because I need somebody to collect it for me. Her response was I'm open tues,weds,thurs so no you can't collect Saturday. Which I thought was fair enough but then came her little dig "it's not my problem if u can't get here". Ok then. U old cow! 
just took me by surprise.
Sorry that this happened to you Marnie, how horrid
I had a completely different with the Red Cross.
I would try asking your gp practice as I know mine has a poster about this

Hi Marnie, almost sorry that I suggested the Red Cross to you.
Her attitude is not what I would have expected from a charity worker.
Hope you eventually sort it

I think Judi is right about the OP as They are the people who got a wheelchair for me within a week or two, I do hope you manage to get sorted very soon.
