Equipment through Henshaws

Depending on where you live, your social services team may not always get you all the equipment you want - but we can help you.

Our rehabilitation team have access to the country’s largest VI equipment catalogues and can advise you on the equipment and adaptations that will help you live more independently.

Contact us at your nearest Henshaws’ centre to find out more.

A range of suitable aids and equipment are for sale at our Arts & Crafts Centre shop (in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire). Call Nicola Miller on 01423 814524 to find out more.
