Memory Wheelchairs

Memory Wheelchairs A helping hand when you need it most. A little more about us…
We started this service about 4 years ago when very sadly we lost a special friend.

We purchased a wheelchair and called it Helen’s Chair. Since then, each wheelchair is named in memory of a passed loved one or someone special, each person continuing to give a helping hand to someone in need. We offer to “loan out” our lightweight, easy foldable wheelchairs, including paediatric wheelchairs, on a short-term basis, free of charge, to anyone for any need… recovery from injury or surgery, end of life care or just support to enable mobility and access to daily living with dignity. We now have 19 wheelchairs, and we desperately need to buy wheelchair bags, coseytoes covers, waterproof covers and maintain the wheelchairs we have to enable our users to use our Memory Wheelchairs. Sadly, anything that supports disability is expensive, so we need all your support to raise the funds to help us continue to help others. We work closely with Morecambe Bay Hospital, hospital outreach services such as Physio Support, End of Life Care Team, Community Nurses, local GP Practices, our Local Age Concern and Citizens Advice. If you know anyone who we can help or wish to know more about us, please contact:

Hi everyone

Just a quick post to let you know about Theo’s Taxis here in Kendal.

We’re a local, family-run taxi company and really proud to be one of the top-rated firms on Google. We cover all local journeys, do regular runs to and from Oxenholme train station, and take people out to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales too. Airport runs to Manchester & John Lennon too.

We’ve got 4 and 6 seat vehicles, do wheelchair accessible jobs, and we’re pet friendly as well 🐶🐾

Whether you’re heading to work, catching a train, going out for the evening, or just need a reliable lift, we’re always happy to help.

Thanks so much to everyone who’s supported us so far.

If you need a taxi, give us a message or a call and we’ll get you sorted.
