Shopmobility Information

Added: 22 January 2009 | Updated: 18 August 2009

Shopmobility is a nationwide scheme that lends manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs, and scooters to people with limited mobility, thus allowing them to shop and visit leisure and commercial facilities within a town, city or shopping centre.

The scheme is open to anyone with a mobility issue, be it permanent or temporary. Each local scheme operates slightly differently; some provide Shopmobility as a free service while others make a charge.

A large number of Greater London areas have Shopmobility schemes, some based in out-of-town shopping centres. Each scheme will have its own rules and details. A contact number is included in the list below which lists the schemes currently in operation in Greater London:
