HEREFORD Lions Club's latest community project recycling mobility scooters and wheelchairs is proving to be a big success.

One satisfied 'customer' Brenda Bayliss of Putson summed up the free service: "It's a wonderful scheme, a real godsend for those like me who have difficulty walking and perhaps can't afford a new one. The scooter Lions gave me has given me more freedom."

Families donate unwanted disability aids to Lions who refurbish them and pass them on to someone in need of one. Several are currently available.

Club member Terry Williams said: "The response has been very encouraging. It makes good sense to find a new home for an unwanted aid for the handicapped."

Terry can be contacted - either to donate or make a request - on 01432 276948.
