Mobility Support For Shoppers - Sponsored Editorial

SPONSORED EDITORIAL
Clyde Shopmobility is a member led Disabled People’s Organisation and Registered Charity.
The Charity’s aim is to reduce social isolation and to promote equality of access for all.
We provide motorised scooters, powered and manual wheelchairs and other mobility aids to help our members get around Clydebank Shopping Centre.
We also hire these for longer term use.
A sighted guide service is available for people with a visual impairment.
A sighted guide is a trained aide who accompanies someone who is visually impaired and assists them to get out and about in the community.
You don’t have to be registered disabled to use our service. Anyone can borrow a scooter or wheelchair if you have difficulty getting around, for example, if you have limited mobility caused by disability, age, temporary illness or accident.
We offer a meet and greet service where we will drop a scooter or wheelchair round to your car or meet you at a taxi rank or bus stop and collect it from you when you’ve finished.
We have a wide variety of equipment:
- Small or medium mobility scooters
- Manual and powered wheelchairs
- Rollators
- Sighted guides
We are always looking for enthusiastic people who are interested in helping the Charity, either volunteering with us in the project or on our Board of Directors
In addition, we also run social and educational groups for members and non-members alike: our weekly Knitting and Natter Group is extremely popular as are our Photography and Walking Groups.
We will shortly be starting a Menopause Awareness & Support Group and a Men’s Interest Group. Everyone is welcome!
