Hi.
If you still need one i have a wheelchair you can borrow. We keep one incase anyone in our community has need of it. It's at the Bidston Rise Community House, Clover drive by Tescos Bidston Moss.

If you'd give us a ring on 0151 653 2200. You can pick it up from there.Or if you can't pick it up we can arrange something if your not too far away.
