Shopmobility scooters

If you have a South Gloucestershire Council Diamond card then you can use that on the service.

Over the years by the Scheme has received funding from Scooter/Wheelchair Hire and donations, and has had funding from funders such as South Gloucestershire Council; Tesco's; The National Lottery; local Parish and Town Councils in Yate, Sodbury and Dodington, and other sources too. We are very grateful for the generosity of these funders.
If someone is interested in making a donation or considering leaving a legacy to Shopmobility they should contact Shopmobility. The scheme is also very grateful to Yate Shopping Centre and Yate Library for their help and support.
The scheme does an annual service users survey, and many users tell of how the service also helps them socially by being able to get out and about, and it helps with their health generally and also helps to reduce social isolation. There have been many calls for increased opening hours.
