Over the Christmas period Shopmobility has raised over £1,300 to support its services with the help of volunteers, Stratford-on-Avon District Council staff and some great money raising ideas.
Shopmobility provides powered scooters and wheelchairs free of charge to almost 3,000 people a year enabling them to enjoy the sights of Stratford-upon-Avon, whether they are on holiday, residents or have temporary injuries.
The money was raised by raffles, a Christmas stall and receiving donations from the tree of life which was an addition to the Stratford Christmas lights on Bridge Street.
In recognition to everyone who kindly donated, Shopmobility would like to thank those who generously gave to this much needed and appreciated service.
