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:

Huge “Thank You” to Kendal Town Council and Cllr Eamonn Hennessy for all your support to Memory Wheelchairs.
Today we were able to help another family using the peadiatric wheelchair called Killarney that you very kindly funded. This wheelchair will enable the family to enjoy daily life and help him return to school after the holidays while he recovers.
🥰
Kendal in Cumbria, UK, is officially twinned with Killarney in County Kerry, Ireland, a relationship that has spanned over 20 years and was recently revitalised in 2024. The partnership, which often involves local community groups and civic visits, highlights the two towns' shared characteristics, including their close proximity to lake districts.

🥰 I am so proud to be recognised but Memory Wheelchairs is only possible with the help of All of you. 😘 Helen Davison would be so happy that her loss has grown into this. Thank you to each and everyone of you that help and especially Kendal Town FC for hosting us within the carpark.
