Local Solutions has opened a new Shopmobility centre in the newly built Liverpool One shopping centre in Liverpool. Shopmobility provides freedom and independence to people with mobility restrictions through the loan of equipment, including manual and electric wheelchairs and electric powered scooters. Service users are able to access amenities in Liverpool City Centre including their favourite shops, art galleries and museums. A trained volunteer can be provided to assist service users on their journey, subject to availability. Travel Companions Service is a complementary service to Shopmobility which is aimed at assisting service users on public transport, please click below for more information. Shopmobility welcomes the services of volunteers for administration purposes, to help in the shop with equipment or to accompany service users on public transport through the Travel Companions Scheme.
