🚢 THIS is what 200+ donated mobility aids looks like.
Yesterday we visited PhysioNet HQ with another huge collection of crutches, walking sticks and mobility aids donated by our incredible community.
Together, we helped pack PhysioNet’s 196th shipment of mobility equipment, which is now on its way to Malawi. 🇲🇼
What many people don’t realise is that millions of mobility aids sit unused in cupboards, garages and spare rooms across the UK or worse end up in landfill.
Meanwhile, around the world, people are waiting months or even years for access to equipment that could help them walk, work, attend school, care for their families and live more independently.
That’s why this partnership matters.
Every crutch, walking stick and mobility aid donated through Cool Crutches is collected, sorted and refurbished before being given a second life helping someone who needs it.
What started as a simple idea has grown into something truly extraordinary:
💜 Over 2,500 mobility aids donated by our community
💜 Hundreds of tonnes diverted from landfill
💜 Countless lives impacted through improved mobility and independence
💜 196 shipments sent by PhysioNet to communities around the world
None of this happens without you.
Every donation tells a story, and thanks to your generosity, that story doesn’t end when the aid is no longer useful to you. It becomes the beginning of someone else’s.
If you have unwanted crutches, walking sticks or mobility aids at home, please don’t throw them away.
