We hope that the Annual Report gives you a flavour of what we have been up to over the year, but please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

Are you passionate about making a real difference in your community? Shopmobility Aberdeen is looking for dedicated individuals to join our Management Committee as Trustees. We are a small but impactful charity with a big mission: to ensure that everyone living, working, or visiting Aberdeen can navigate the city with confidence and independence. Through our services, including the loan of mobility scooters and wheelchairs, we support people with mobility challenges to access the city and live more freely.

Our work is focused on removing social and physical barriers, advocating for inclusive planning, and reducing isolation. We also run an outreach service called Able Deen, which brings our mobility support into local communities, helping even more people access the resources they need. As we prepare to relaunch this service with a new vehicle and undertake exciting changes like rebranding and updating our legal status, we are seeking new Trustees to help guide our growth and direction.

We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with skills in:

• Finance,

• Fundraising,

• or Marketing

As a Trustee, you will play a key role in shaping our future, ensuring our sustainability, and contributing to the strategic decisions that keep our services running. This is an opportunity to use your expertise to make a lasting impact on the lives of people in Aberdeen.

If you want to be part of a team that is creating a more inclusive city, we would love to hear from you. To find out more or apply, please contact abledeencommittee@gmail.com by the 20th June 2025. Join us at Shopmobility Aberdeen and help make our city accessible for everyone.

it’s that time of year again when the Bean Counters count the beans and the Trustees wax lyrical about the year we have had and the difference we have made.  It’s all thanks to you, our supporters and friends.  Thank you for using our services, keeping them relevant and pitching in to advise our Management Committee about what works and what you would like to see added to our offering.  We really appreciate every last one of you.

Annual Report and Accounts 2021

I have been volunteering with the organisation since 2017/18, so quite some time! I first heard about Shopmobility through NESCol as I did a sponsored walk along the Old Royal Deeside Railway Line; we walked from Duthie Park in Aberdeen pretty much as far as the group could go. Now, I have disabilities and would have never managed the distance we walked, however Shopmobility came to the rescue and allowed me to hire a scooter for the day so that I wouldn’t miss out on the walk. 

Ever since then I have been involved quite a lot with Shopmobility, taking part in Celebrate Aberdeen Parades and even nominated one of our staff members for an award which she became a finalist of a few years back. Volunteering for me, is not just about giving back, it’s about showing that you care about your community and like minded people. For me it was only right that I volunteered with a charity supporting those with short term or permanent disabilities to prove to other disabled young people that you can do anything you want if you set your mind to it!

Shopmobility has given me so much confidence, new skills, new friendships and a new lease of life. I finally have something in my life I am passionate about and that I enjoy!

Helping people is something I have always liked doing. Volunteering with Shopmobility gives you areal sense of achievement when you help someone who needs it. That for me is the highlight of what I do with volunteering as it makes me feel like I have a purpose. 

At our recent AGM and after many years of dreaming, my dream finally came true and I was elected a member of the Management Committee. This is something I had hoped to do for years and I have finally been given the chance. Not only that, but I have been given the role of secretary. This is a fantastic achievement and one I am so proud and grateful to be in. 

If you are considering a volunteer position, look no further than Shopmobility! We will treat you with respect, make you welcome and give you purpose and allow you to find yourself and things your passionate about. Hopefully, by reading this article you will be more encouraged to come and volunteer with us and change the lives of disabled people in our city for the better!
