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. The service is situated within the shopping centre the staff/volunteers can meet you at the car parks, bus stop, train station or taxi ranks.
We would like to apply for £1000 to get our service users who are aged 65 and over and suffer with food insecuriy in West Dunbartonshire, the help with food vouchers from Farmfoods.
