Does someone know of a charity that accepts wheelchairs please?

I have two which were given to me when I was waiting for my hip operation. both are nearly complete/heavy and maroon in colour.
I live in London N14. You would have to collect as I am disabled.

    Age Concern and Help the Aged (now merged and called Age UK) will be thrilled to have them and will happily collect from you.
    My local AC has a wheelchair loan service and always needs more wheelchairs to meet the demand.

    I would of thought the red cross. They've always helped my family out when we've been in need of wheelchairs.

    I know somebody said freecycle - but just remember its not necessarily going to somebody who actually needs it.

    You could also try the British Legion as they use them when they take people out on trips. We borrowed one last year when my OH had a knee replacement operation
