Shopmobility
Shopmobility provides the use of manual and powered wheelchairs and powered scooters to help people with limited mobility.
The equipment can be used by people to get around local shopping centres. It is available for people whether their disability is temporary or permanent, and is for residents and visitors alike.
Shops will also often be able to provide a sighted guide given advanced planning. Please contact your preferred shop and ask for assistance.
