Shopping

We all like to look good; it makes us feel happier if we feel comfortable and fashionable. Having a disability can bring challenges when it comes to buying clothes, we have listed some websites that cater to our needs, be it having magnetic buttons to elasticated waists or a jazzy walking stick.

We shouldn't feel afraid of the high street, many shops have clothes that are disability friendly i.e. elasticated waists, Velcro etc, we can also enlist the help of local seamstress to alter items to suit.

Make use of shop mobility nearly all of the large shopping centre's offer this service, e.g. Buchanan Galleries/St Enoch Centre are under Glasgow Shopmobility 0141 404 0224, Silverburn 880 3234 (scooters and wheelchairs) Braehead 885 4630 (power chairs, scooters and can offer assistance with prior contact).
