Very pleased to represent Shopmobility Enniskillen at this meeting with the Infrastructure Minister yesterday.
Delighted to join colleagues from mobility services and Shopmobility schemes across Northern Ireland in a positive and constructive meeting with Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins MLA. We discussed the vital role these services play in supporting independence, accessibility, active travel and community participation for thousands of people across Northern Ireland.
It was particularly encouraging to hear the Minister's genuine interest in our services and her recognition of the difference they make to people's everyday lives. The Minister acknowledged the growing need for mobility support and our services, the challenges schemes face, and the importance of ensuring people can continue to access their towns, services, families and communities independently.
We greatly appreciate the support shown by the Minister and her Department, their ongoing commitment to funding, and their willingness to work in partnership to strengthen and sustain these essential services for the future. Together, we can help ensure that people with mobility challenges remain connected, active and independent within their communities
