ageandjo

Not sure if I am posting in the correct place but where can I hire a pair of crutches today?

I think the British Red Cross do, I googled and found this page:

Hope this helps

Call your local Red Cross - they may have them and be able to lend you some. I know they can lend Wheelchairs etc for people who'll only need one for a short time, eg post-operative. If you're being discharged from hospital etc and require them you should be given them on loan.

Hi
give your surgery a call first, as far as I knw many surgeries have cratches given by patients after they no longer need them, my brother just got one from our local sugery in lambour, Berkshire.
hopefully this will help

Also call you local St John ambulance head office, they should be able to tell you if they have any in their stored (like the redscross they lend them out too as well as wheel chairs etc) I'm pretty sure there is a store in Aylesbury or High Wycombe but not sure further afield than that

crutches

you can buy them quite cheaply on ebay and resell afterwards.
Mine cost £20 incl.P&P and are fancy with mini crampons for snow!
cheaper ones and childrens too.
check the DISABILITY section in HEALTH AND BEAUTY

I got mine from my OT. May be worth contacting your local social services dpt and asking if they can help in anyway.

Well, we've got a pair of crutches I need to get rid of but the hospital wouldnt take them back. What can I do with them, or does anyone want them? We're in London

You could advertise them in your local Freecycle group
