Equipment Amnesty – Tameside and Oldham Community Equipment Services

Equipment Amnesty

31 March – 14 April 2025

Do you – or someone you know – have community equipment issued by the NHS or Social Services in Tameside or Oldham that you no longer need? Alongside the NHS, Tameside Council, and Oldham Council, Millbrook Healthcare is launching an Equipment Amnesty to help repurpose unused items for those who need them.

Why Return Your Equipment?
  • It saves resources by keeping items out of charity shops or landfill.
  • Returned equipment can be refurbished and re-issued to someone in your community who needs it.
 
How to Return or Arrange Collection
  • Drop-off: Contact our team to find your nearest drop-off point in Tameside or Oldham.
  • Free Collection: We can collect large items – or multiple small items – at no cost to you.

Let’s work together to reuse valuable equipment and support those who rely on these essential services in Tameside and Oldham.

Do I qualify for VAT Exemption?

If you are disabled or have a long-term illness, you won’t be charged VAT on products designed or adapted for your own personal or domestic use.

 

If you are entitled to a VAT exemption, you can register for this at checkout. The VAT will then be removed form your total. If you are unsure whether you are entitled or not, please read our VAT Exemption Terms & Conditions.
