Comments from users of Shopmobility Watford:

Seeing the impact it had on my Mum, I just wish more people would give it ago, would highly recommend it. I think she will be back! She loved it and her first set of wheels at 85yrs.

I always look forward to using this service. The staff are always cheerful & obliging. Without this facility I would be very isolated.

The service provided is brilliant and gives us the chance to use the center with my father and lets him get out with our family trips making our life with him and the family better. Thank you.
