Every mobility aid we hand over has a person and a story behind it. These are some of the veterans, families and neighbours Project Independence Veterans (PIV) has supported.
Wheelchair
This ex veteran requested a wheelchair as he had not been out of his home for a while. Project Independence Veterans (PIV) gave him a wheelchair and a rain cover so he could go to his local cenotaph and pay his respects.
Electric wheelchair
This lady was in need of a wheelchair. PIV supplied an electric wheelchair with a rear bag and a rain cover so she could get out and about in her local village. She is now enjoying her independence with a smile.
Wigan Armed Forces Community HQ

PIV helped this gentleman out with a scooter so he could get around his local village and regain his independence when out and about with his family.
Ongoing support
This ex veteran has had help with his scooter and wheelchairs over the last three years. That continuing relationship is exactly what Project Independence Veterans was designed for.
If you are a disabled veteran, a partner or a carer struggling with mobility, get in touch. We will be honest about what we can do — and if we cannot help, we will try to find someone who can.
