Which allows individuals with mobility issues to get in and around the Clyde Shopping Centre, to shop, meet up with friends or just go for a coffee, this also allows people to get to doctors appointments or go on days out with their family. We deliver a drop off and pick up service of the scooters and wheelchairs whereby our members can call the shop when they have arrived at the shopping centre, and with the help of our staff/volunteers, we will deliver the equipment requested.
