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:

If anyone has raffle prizes they are happy to donate to raise much needed funds for Memory Wheelchairs and Sandgate School we would be very grateful.

Next Saturday we are so excited to be holding the famous Pickled Onion Competition after the Kendal Town FC Vs Easington Colliery AFC match.
Not only do they have the competition there is also a fantastic raffle in aid of Sandgate School and Memory Wheelchairs.

“They say a photo says a thousand words” 💕
Your donations enable Memory Wheelchairs to help others and we think this photo says it all… this is why I say Memory Wheelchairs isn’t me! It’s we!!
Without your help spreading the word, helping with donations or with fundraising we just couldn’t do it without you. 💕

Thank you xx

Thank you so much!
Since sharing our go fund post last week you have raised Memory Wheelchairs £50.
That £50 will fund buying a new wheelchair bag, cosy and waterproof so we can support our users with all the equipment they need straight away without any worry of further costs. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. 🎅

🕵️‍♂️ We are looking for a charity/charities to support in 2026

We would love to support a charity that really matters next year.

Murder 57 bring people together for unforgettable experiences and we believe in giving something back along the way. That is why we are looking to partner with a charity or two next year.

If you work with a charity, volunteer for one or there is a cause close to your heart that you feel would be a great fit for us, we would love to hear about it.

Please comment below or tag the charity.

We will be sharing more details about how the chosen charity will be supported very soon.

Thank you for helping us make a difference ❤️
