Shopmobility are a registered Charity operating out of four locations in Fife - two in Kirkcaldy, one in Glenrothes and one in Dunfermline. The service supplies electric scooters and powered and manual equipment to people with mobility
difficulties for use in the shopping malls and around the town centres.
Their services are free and available to all and you do not have to be registered disabled to use their equipment
They can offer a companion shopping service to anyone who requires a bit more assistance. They can also offer a sighted guide for anyone
with a visual impairment.
They can provide a long term hire service for manual wheelchairs for up to one month.
These can be taken out with the normal daily boundaries, used for short term immobility and taken on holiday if required.
Anyone wishing to use the equipment is required to register with the service and
complete a short training session on their first visit, following which they can use the service at any of our locations.
Please take along two forms of ID, photographic and including proof of address on first visit.
They work with Fife Council Ring and Ride and Dial a Ride services.
Both of these can be booked to take you to Fife Shopmobility free of charge.
On request our staff will meet you, bringing your equipment to these drop off points. Call: 01592 803772 or Email: info@shopmobilityfife.
