๐ Do you or a loved one have any community equipment that needs to be returned?
Itโs really important that these items go back so they can be cleaned, checked, and reused by others who need them. โป๏ธ
๐ Please see the details below on where to take it back โ and help us keep this vital service running for our community! ๐
Got crutches, walking frames, or other borrowed equipment gathering dust at home? Nowโs the perfect time to return them and make a real difference! ๐
The Isle of Wight Council is running a Community Equipment Return Amnesty โ and your unused items could help someone regain independence and confidence.
โป๏ธ Why return?
โ
Support Islanders in need
โ

โ
Declutter your home!
In 2024โ25, over 1,500 walking frames were returned โ saving more than ยฃ34,000! ๐

๐ Community Equipment Store, 19 Barry Way, Newport (MonโFri, 9amโ3.30pm)
๐ St Maryโs Hospital โ main reception or physio dept (look for the big blue bins!)
