This service provides professional evaluation and provision, where possible, of specialist equipment for people with disabilities. The clinic is run twice a week by two local physiotherapists and a wheelchair technician and on average 5 people are seen a week. The service focuses on seating for children and adults with specialised postural needs; however it also caters for children, adults and their families who need advice, education, support and specialist equipment such as crutches, walking frames and occupational therapy equipment. In addition, families are able to attend for up to 4 sessions with the physiotherapist and receive a personal home exercise program and advice for working with their child. All the equipment we use has been donated from the UK and is checked, repaired if needed and then donated. Once the family has finished with the equipment it can be returned, cleaned and checked and then is ready to re-donate again.

We are able to offer qualified healthcare professionals a volunteer program that is tailored to their individual skills. Volunteers select which of our projects they would like to work depending on their experience and skill level as well as being able to work in additional external community projects. In addition to our Volunteer Program we also have a 4-week credit bearing physiotherapy placement with Keele University School of Physiotherapy.
