Shopmobility
Powered scooters and wheelchairs on free loan at Wandsworth Town Centre
Shopmobility is based at Sainsbury’s Supermarket on Garratt Lane, SW18 (Wandsworth Town Centre). Shopmobility provides, on loan and free of charge, powered scooters, electric or manual wheelchairs, and an escort, if necessary, to anyone with a mobility problem. The service runs in conjunction with the Shopping shuttle. This enables people to be picked up by the shuttle service, be dropped off at the Shopmobility office, and then pick up a mobility aid to go and do their shopping or visit the Town Centre.
Wandsworth Community Transport has recently been awarded The Queen’s Golden Jubilee Award for voluntary service by groups in the community, and a Wandsworth Business Award for customer Service, for the work carried out by its Shopmobility Project. Congratulations to the Shopmobility Volunteers who have made it all possible. The team of 50 volunteers do a fantastic job, pushing the wheelchairs, driving the minibuses, giving a helping hand and providing friendship and support. This award really belongs to them and to them the credit is due.
