Navigating public spaces such as shops and cafes can be daunting, and many individuals find it helpful to have a friend or relative accompany them for physical assistance or moral support. However, not everyone has access to such support, which is where the new 'Shopmobility Buddies' scheme comes in.
CIRCA will provide trained volunteer 'Buddies' to accompany Shopmobility service users, offering companionship and assistance as needed. The role of the 'Buddy' is designed to be supportive and reassuring, rather than functioning as an attendant.
If you would like to become a Volunteer Shopmobility Buddy, or would like to make use of this new service, please phone CIRCA Tel: 613713 or call in to see us. You can also contact us via our Facebook page.
The Shopmobility Buddies pilot scheme is funded by the Manx Lottery Trust
