Some of our staff and volunteers will be stationed outside Boots in the Eden Shopping Centre this Friday 20th July from 10am till 4pm. They will be there to talk to you about our mobility scooter and wheelchair service and how it could help you or someone you know. Please come and talk to us on Friday and take one of our leaflets – don’t worry if you miss us though, you can pop into the shop with your questions during our usual opening hours.
Along with most other organisations, High Wycombe Shopmobility has updated it’s Privacy Policy to reflect the new legislation. It’s available to read in the shop and is on this website via the link at the bottom of the page. We’d like to encourage you to read it when you get the chance
If you use Amazon you can now get exactly the same shopping experience and access your account through Smile Amazon BUT a percentage of the profits will be donated to High Wycombe Shopmobility! Login via this link using your usual account email/ password, select us as the cause that you would like to support and this will be saved for future purchases. We will then receive a donation whenever you buy any eligible products.
This only works using the “Smile” Amazon page not the normal homepage but all of your account details remain exactly the same and remain private. We are really grateful for any donations to help support our small, friendly charity. Thank you

We currently have vacancies for Customer Service Volunteers to join our team. The role is to assist and support the member of staff on duty with providing the Shopmobility service to our customers.
High Wycombe Shopmobility offers a happy, friendly volunteering environment with a “feel good” factor – our volunteers enjoy having a chat with our customers, find helping people worthwhile and go home feeling valued. There are opportunities to use existing experience and skills and to gain new ones – which may be beneficial for CV/career progression.
If you would like to join our team please either message us or give us a call on 01494 472277 and ask for Claire.
