Friends of Shopmobility
The project is looking for volunteers to join a “Friends of Shopmobility South Gloucestershire” group.
They need to be honest, reliable, caring people, with no previous experience necessary, just enthusiasm and the commitment to spend a few hours assisting to raise funds and organise events and rambles to increase the quality of life for mobility-impaired people.
