Hiring a motorised scooter or wheelchair to go shopping
Dundee has a scheme called The Circle, which lends wheelchairs (electric and manual) and electric scooters to people with mobility problems to access Dundee city centre. The service is free for people with short or long-term mobility difficulties. You will be required to complete a form, as well as undertake a short demonstration on how to use the equipment. You will be issued with a membership card, which you will need to produce whenever you need to use the service.
If you'd like to find out more about this service, please get in touch using the information below. Contact information:

The address is: Dudhope Castle Barrack Road, Dundee DD3 6HF. If you have a long-term need for a wheelchair, you should discuss this with your GP as they may be able to refer you to the NHS Wheelchair service.
