We are extremely grateful to be supported by the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games with a very kind donation of pre-loved care equipment.

Like many large public events, the Birmingham Commonwealth Games bought new wheelchairs, evacuation chairs and other care equipment to ensure the safe delivery of the events for everyone to enjoy. Some of this care equipment was barely used and in practically brand new condition. The manufactures won’t take it back and the public money had already been spent.

Grace Cares made contact and let them know about our mission to collect, donate, and sell pre-loved care equipment to enhance people’s quality of life, support care workers and older people in need with grants and community groups and leave a better planet for future generations.

They loved that the equipment would be given a new lease of life as well as helping those in need and the local community and were happy to donate and be involved.

We can’t promise you’ll be winning medals like David Russell Weir CBE but maybe some of the Commonwealth Games magic might inspire the equipment’s next owner. If nothing else what a wonderful story and great to know the equipment was part of such an event. Care equipment is far more than just a product to own, care equipment provides vital life lines to their owners and enhances quality of life.

And if you didn’t know the lovely Emma Smith (one of our co-founders) was a Birmingham Commonwealth Games volunteer.

If you know of any type of events that are needing to accommodate for everyone please let us know. We can either supply the care equipment or we would love to give any care equipment a new home and volunteer to help at the event.
