| Description | Chesterfield Shopmobility is a scooter & wheelchair loan service for people with mobility difficulties coming to Chesterfield. It is available to people with a permanent disability, a temporary disability, or to those who just have difficulty in getting around, perhaps because of advancing years. The scheme has manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and a range of three- and four-wheeled electric powered scooters available for use in Chesterfield town centre. Volunteer are involved in all aspects of the work we do, from taking bookings, working with customers and their carers, right the way to taking part in promotions and, most importantly, learning how to ride a scooter and a power wheelchair. The scheme has paid organisers, but could not function to the level it does without the services of volunteers. Renishaw Hall .
