Shopmobility lends free wheelchairs and motorised scooters to people who have mobility problems or disabilities. This helps people get around Perth, do their shopping or even visit friends. Scooters and wheelchairs can also be taken to events or lent over weekends.

  

Freedom & Independence

There are many elderly or disabled people who can manage in the house with walking aids, but are not able to leave the home. This can lead to a lot people suffering loneliness.

To allow people to get and out about, we lend them scooters and wheelchairs when they need them. This means that they don’t have to become a permanent wheelchair user but still enjoy getting out and meeting people.

Giving people a sense of freedom and independence can change people’s lives.
There are over 600 members of Perth Shopmobility and there are over 320 hires per each month!

The Difference We Make

Below are some quotes from people who use Perth Shopmobility:

“I can do my own shopping and no-one tells me where to go. I can be my own person!”

“Shopmobility has given me a new lease of life and makes me feel part of the community.”

“Shopping used to be impossible but now I actually enjoy shopping with my wife!!!”

“This is the first Christmas for years I have been able to go out and buy my husband his Christmas present, instead of asking him to get it for me!”

Scoot On Down

Shopmobility is based in the multi-storey car park in Canal Street. We are open 9am – 4.30pm on Mondays to Fridays. Wheelchairs and scooters are also lent over weekends or for whole weeks. If you are coming to Perth or have friends or family visiting you, contact us and we can help everybody enjoy beautiful Perthshire.

Free Lending

Our service is free and instruction is given before you take the scooter/wheelchair away.

Even if you are just injured or are temporarily immobile, give us a call, because we can help.
