Other Shopmobility Schemes

Unfortunately at the moment all the schemes are run independently from each other, although the National Federation of Shopmobility is researching the possibility of a national passport scheme.

Although we are unable to advise professionally on mobility issues or mobility and daily living aids, we are always happy to try to answer questions or put you in contact with someone who can help.
