Support with walking and mobility

Walking aids

If you find it difficult walking around your home without the support of a walking aid, contact the Adult Community Therapy Team.

Wheelchair services

If you feel you need an assessment for a wheelchair, live within the borough of Stockport, and are registered with a Stockport GP, contact your GP for a referral to the wheelchair service.

Mobility scooters

If you're considering buying a scooter, you'll need to think about:

  • how you can safely store the scooter outside your home
  • how you'll get the scooter in and out of your home

Note: adaptations for scooters are not eligible for statutory grant funding.

Hiring wheelchairs and scooters

Wheelchairs can be hired from the British Red Cross for short-term use.

Shopmobility Stockport provides equipment to help you do your shopping and visit local facilities and attractions. Equipment includes the use of wheelchairs and scooters, both manual and powered.
