Harrow Shopmobility Request

Organisation Description

We are a small local charity that provides free daily use of mobility scooters, power chairs and wheelchairs. We are open to anyone that has a mobility issue either permanent or temporary. We loan out walking frames, crutches and walking sticks free of charge for as long as they are needed, we also hire out 3 and 4 wheeled walkers, power chairs, transit and self-propelled wheelchairs and mobility scooters on a weekly basis for a very small fee and a one off membership fee of £5.00. We believe that everyone has the right to be an active member of society.

What are they looking for?

The board of trustees meet once a month, the first Monday of the month at 1:30 pm via zoom. We are looking for two trustees, one to be the treasurer (knowledge of accountancy a plus) and one as a trustee for guidance. It is very important that the trustees are dedicated to Harrow Shopmobility. More than 50% of our trustees and volunteers have a disability, it is not a requirement but we advocate inclusion. We are looking for a trustee that is reliable and consistent. There will be occasions when you will be asked to attend courses or to spend time fact finding for the improvement or benefit of the charity (reasonable cost will be covered). The treasurers roll is more demanding and weekly contact with the charity's manager or their line-manager may be necessary. We hold an AGM in spring that all trustees are expected to attend. We are a friendly lot apart from providing mobility aids for people to go shopping/holidays with, we are a friendly face, a listening ear providing empathy and understanding.
