What is Shopmobility?
Shopmobility is a scheme which lends manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and powered scooters to members of the public with limited mobility to shop and to visit leisure and commercial facilities within the town, city or shopping centre.
Who Can Use Shopmobility?
Shopmobility is for anyone, young or old, whether their disability is temporary or permanent.
It is available for those with injuries, long or short-term disabilities - anyone who needs help with mobility. Shopmobility is about the freedom to get around. You do not need to be registered disabled to use it
Why Is Shopmobility Necessary?
With the introduction of shopping malls and pedestrianised areas, it has become increasingly difficult to access all areas of a town or city if you have a mobility impairment.
Shopmobility schemes actively encourage inclusion and equality by providing wheelchairs, powerchairs and power scooters for people to use them.
With Shopmobility you can continue to access your local centre either independently, or with family and friends.
How Much Does It Cost?
All schemes operate slightly differently; some provide Shopmobility as a free service while others make a charge.
This is indicated by the symbols in each entry. Most schemes welcome any donations you wish to make. |
