A CHARITY that helps injured soldiers has received a donation of money and wheelchairs.
Mobility 2000 Ltd and the Indefatigable Old Boys Association presented he British Limbless Ex-Service Men’s Association (BLESMA) with six wheelchairs and a cheque for £784 at Tedworth House.
The money was raised through a raffle and auction at the Indefatigable Old Boys Association annual reunion.
The wheelchairs will add to the extensive range of support equipment owned by BLESMA, which supplies its membership with wheelchairs and prosthetic support to carry out daily activities.
Simon Pegler, from Mobility 2000 and a member of the Indefatigable Old Boys Association, said: “It gives me and my business partners great pleasure in offering the wheelchairs to BLESMA. We work with ex-service personnel and have heard of the work BLESMA do.
We wanted to give something back to our servicemen and women who have been injured on active service.”
