Staines Shopmobility is pleased to announce that the Two Rivers has kindly agreed to sponsor 8 mobility scooters for the next year. This sponsorship will cover the cost of servicing and maintaining the vehicles during this period. The charity would like to thank Two Rivers for their generous support of our service and for helping people with limited mobility to access the town centre.

Staines Shopmobility has this week made its 50,000th loan of mobility equipment since opening in 1998. The landmark was reached when Shopmobility member Chris Bennett hired a mobility scooter and was presented with a bottle of bubbly to mark the occasion. Let’s all look forward to working hard to keep the service open and reaching 100,000 loans!

We are pleased to announce that MidasPlus have kindly donated £1,990 to purchase 2 new mobility scooters. This has enabled us to buy 2 Orion scooters, which went into service during August. The Orion scooters encompass the latest safety design features including brake lights and reverse warning beeper to ensure a safe, comfortable ride for members. The scooters are also fitted with crutch holders allowing members to get off the scooters when they are in the town. We would like to thank MidasPlus for their generous support of our charity.
