Scooter for Sale

Gina is selling Tony’s motability scooter and is very kindly donating the proceeds to the Centre.

It is a TGA Mystere, technical specifications attached.  It had a service and a new battery in July 2021 costing £245 (invoice available).  The scooter is currently in Didcot for viewing, I could probably ask for it to be delivered to the Centre.  Suggested donation £400 but this is negotiable!

Christmas Hamper

This year we are just having a small in-house raffle with the main prize of a large luxury hamper.  There is a list at the Centre of items that we need donated to make it into something really special.  If you are able to provide one of these items, please put your name down on the sheet or email Sue who can allocate that item to you.  Many thanks for your support. 


Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy – If anyone would like a physiotherapy appointment, please let Sue know.  We need a minimum of 4 people to make it worthwhile for Tricia to come to the Centre…….
