Getting About

• Escorts and attendants
  For those occasions when elderly or disabled people need an escort in travelling to a destination away from home the British Red Cross may be able to help.
• Travel to and from hospital
  If you are on a low income you may be able to get help with your travelling expenses to and from hospital. For more information see Department of Health - help with health costs.
• Shopmobility Schemes
  Shopmobility Schemes are located within town centres including Chester, Ellesmere Port, Northwich, Macclesfield and Winsford to give disabled people the opportunity to independently access shops and other facilities. This is made possible by the loan of manual and powered wheelchairs and electric scooters. For more information contact your local Disability Service.
