Can anybody suggest a charity/group in the East Midlands who would accept the donation of our 2 berth caravan (fully equiped) as we are giving up our caravan.
But rather than selling it we would like to donate it to a charity for use by disabled couples.
The van is a 2008 2 berth Avondale converted by Fry’s and has a ramp which can be fitted for wheelchair access.

A google search for 'caravanning for the disabled charity' brought up a number of possible leads

Try googling caravans for charities or something similar.  You will no doubt get a number of hits to follow up.

What a fabulous idea to help other folk.

Timpson's (shoe repairers, key cutting etc.) do a great deal for disadvantaged family's, at the moment they are offering free holidays to foster carers and their foster children, many of who are disabled. They might be worth a 'phone call to see if it they would be able to use it. Lovely idea, I admire your generosity.smile

Thanks for all your help. Unfortunately  we have had no success - so we will be selling the van.

OH has suggested Help For Heroes, if you see this message and need anymore info do get in touch as he will be able to help.

What a lovely idea to donate your van. How sad you had no takers - probably like furniture got to have fire test labels or electrical test etc.

Hopefully Help for Heroes will be grateful, they do great work. Maybe it could be a project to refurb, sure it's not needed because of lack of care, to meet standards - 2 for the donation of one 😉

Do keep us posted.

It seems a shame that we can't help each other with things like this 😢
