Public benefits
The purpose of Shopmobility Newry is to relieve the needs of people with disabilities and mobility issues in the Greater Newry area. The direct benefits that flow from this purpose are the breaking down of isolation, enhancing the independence and improving the quality of life of people with limited mobility. These benefits are evidenced
through the increasing numbers of people using our service and the feedback received from patrons. Our service involves the provision of powered mobility scooters and wheelchairs. We provide training to patrons in the safe operation of equipment, ensuring patrons are capable of using the equipment safely and ensuring equipment is fit for purpose. Accidents are extremely rare and the benefits of our service outweigh any risks. There is no private benefit flowing from the purpose of our organisation. Beneficiaries of Shopmobility Newry are people with limited mobility and their carers, living in or visiting the Greater Newry area.
