I have a three-wheeled walking frame that you can have.  PM me  to arrange for someone to collect it.

I think that the walking frames come through the Occupational Therapist before you leave hospital and through the GP who will organise an OT to see you and who will organise the frame to be the right size etc.https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/care/housing-options/adapting-home/Or do you mean one of those folding three wheelers that are so popular and which my husband declares to be a safety hazard?  (I'm sure the design could be improved.)There may be someone with something that they haven't taken back or to the charity shop or to the tip.  Until recently these were considered so cheap for the NHS to buy that they didn't bother to collect them back.  (They also need cleaning.)
