Stratford Shopmobility service is run by The Friends of Stratford Shopmobility Charity and Active Mobility on behalf of Stratford District Council.
Shopmobility is a service that provides mobility scooters, wheelchairs and walking aids for people with either permanent or temporary limited mobility. This enables greater independence to get around Stratford-upon-Avon town centre independently, with freedom and confidence.
Membership is free of charge.
The equipment is also free to use for daily hire for local residents of Stratford Upon Avon and surrounding areas.
We do have a donations box on-site and would appreciate a small donation each time you use the equipment if you can afford to do so.

Stratford Shopmobility is a “not for profit” organisation and all our money goes towards providing services for our customers.
Fund raising is a priority for Stratford Shopmobility, as we need to cover our running costs, plus, we need to raise funds to update all the equipment.
We run a Christmas tombola, which local businesses, our suppliers, and the trustees have donated prizes. If you can donate any prizes for our tombola, we would be very grateful.
By visiting Stratford Shopmobility and purchasing tombola tickets you will be supporting the scheme and have a chance of winning some incredible prizes!
Stratford District Council provides the shop premises rent free for which we are very grateful.
The Friends of Stratford Shopmobility hold a monthly meeting on the first Thursday of every month via Zoom at 10am.
