North Lincolnshire Equipment & Technology Drop In
The North Lincolnshire Equipment & Technology Drop In offers information, advice and demonstrations of equipment, assistive technology and sensory solutions that can help people live safely, independently and confidently at home.
Based at the Ironstone Centre, the drop in gives people, carers, families and professionals the opportunity to explore a range of products designed to support everyday living. Visitors can see and try equipment, learn how it works, and discuss options that may help with daily tasks, mobility, safety, communication, hearing or sight.
The service forms part of North Lincolnshire Council's prevention and early intervention offer, helping people find practical solutions before needs increase or a formal assessment is required.
