Leamington Spa Shopmobility is now open again 5 days a week, at Level 4 of the Royal Priors car park. Our new opening times are 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday. As well as providing mobility scooters and wheelchairs for loan, we sell a small range of walking aids. Robin Brooks, our new manager, brings many years of Shopmobility experience with him, and makes all visitors welcome.

If you would like book one of our scooters or wheelchairs, please phone us on 01926 470450 and leave a message. You can also email us at admin@leamingtonshopmobility.org.uk


Our official re-opening took place on Monday 3rd March, with a short ceremony in the newly refurbished shop. Our patron, local Paralympic champion Nigel Murray, cut the ribbon and told us how Shopmobility had helped him – he was one of our first members. David Shilton, leader of Warwickshire County Council, gave a short speech in praise of the work of Shopmobility. We are also grateful for the attendance and support of councillors John Knight and Bill Gifford, and Royal Priors manager Gerry McManus.


 L to R: Andy Gotts (trustee), Mike Magness (trustee), Cllr David Greenwood (Trustee), Cllr Ann Morrison (Chair of the Board of Trustees), Cllr John Knight (Deputy Mayor Royal Leamington Spa Town Council), Cllr Sidney Syson (Trustee), Cllr David Shilton (Chairman of Warwickshire County Council), Mr Gerry McManus (Manager, Royal Priors Centre), Mr Nigel Murray (patron of the Trust), Mr Robin Brooks (Shopmobility Manager) and Cllr Bill Gifford (Warwickshire County, Warwick District and RLS Town Council).


We are still looking for more volunteers to help us run the scheme. In particular, we need people who can spare a couple of hours to cover the lunch period at the shop and assist new users. No selling is involved! If you would like more information, please contact us as above.
