    Are there any charitable organisations to donate no longer required disability equipment such as crutches, toilet seat adapter et al to?

    Contact Jack and Jill foundation they'll take crutches and zimmer frames etc.. I don't think anyone will touch the toilet seat, it should recycle as plastic.

    I was in a similar situation a number of years ago, and the HSE community services just didn't seem bothered.

    Gave most of it away to friends/family/neighbours who needed it, the rest went into storage until we finally recycled it.

    Things like sets of crutches you GP will always need, toilet seat adapters probably best to be recycled, from a hygiene standpoint.

    Wheelchairs are precious and cost €250 plus, so a local care centre would no doubt take it with pleasure.
