A mobility equipment charity in Paisley is inviting people to try out their mobility scooters.

Shopmobility Renfrewshire is taking part in Doors Open Day on September 7 and 8, allowing visitors to try their mobility scooters to help people understand the importance of the equipment in boosting wellbeing.

Karen Miller, office manager and fundraising officer for Shopmobility Renfrewshire, said: "As part of Doors Open Day this coming weekend, we’re inviting everyone into our Paisley base to try out our mobility scooters.

"This will help them realise how important these scooters are in giving people with mobility problems their independence back."

The charity provides four services to support people across Renfrewshire with mobility problems.

This includes free daily hire of wheelchairs, powerchairs, and mobility scooters, with longer-term hires at a low cost.

They are also developing a repairs and maintenance service for people with their own scooters, organising social inclusion events, and providing an advocacy service, including accessibility surveys.

Karen added: "It’s great to be taking part in Doors Open Day and promoting the services we provide to those with mobility difficulties.

"We can also advise you on safety measures from purchasing to maintaining mobility equipment.

"We’ve transformed the way we operate and the services we now offer.

"As a human-rights-based organisation, we are determined to make life easier for those with mobility problems.

"If you want to find out more about our services then please pop along and try before you hire."
