What is Shopmobility ?
Shopmobility Foyle is a community service which lends manual wheelchairs, rollators (walking aids with seats) and mobility scooters to people with limited mobility to shop in the Shopping centres and access the city centre.
The Shopmobility hire service is available for: Anyone who has a mobility problem whether it is temporary or permanent. It’s for people who want to get out and about independently.
