Changes to Bridgewater Wheelchair Services Eligibility Criteria for Adults
From 1 April 2025, Bridgewater Wheelchair Services will no longer provide wheelchairs for social or occasional use, this will allow us to focus on supplying essential equipment exclusively to full-time wheelchair users.
This change aims to allocate resources effectively and reduce waiting times for patients with complex needs.
For short-term use, wheelchairs can often be borrowed at low or no cost from venues like shopping centres, supermarkets, and garden centres.
For long-term wheelchair hire in Warrington, users can contact Warrington Disability Partnership or the British Red Cross.
