Wheelchair cup holder
Tracy needs a cupholder that clips onto the front of her wheelchair armrest, not on the side where it gets broken. The wheelchair manufacturer does not offer this option.
The solution
A simple bracket was made that slips into the front of the armrest using the same fixing as her table. It is even strong enough to hold a full bottle of wine.

The benefit
Tracy can now whizz around without spilling a drop. As she says: “[my wheelchair] Bob has an awesome cup holder now that has been custom made for him by a wonderful volunteer at a charity called Remap. The cup holder is epic – it attaches facing forwards from the front of the arm. It’s made of steel so it’s damn near indestructible and looks fantastic.”

Hi Anita, please complete our referral form here: https://remap.org.uk/referral-form/
Katherine, it is not clear what you are asking. If you would like one to be made for you, you should contact your local Remap group: https://www.remap.org.uk/contact-remap/ . But bear in mind that suitable commercial ones may be available for your chair and Remap does not make what is commercially available: https://www.remap.org.uk/can-we-help-you/ , so please check first.
