Aspire<br />
Canterbury<br />
Mobile<br />
Aspire Canterbury is a not-for-profit<br />
community-focused organisation<br />
committed to meeting the needs of older<br />
persons with mobility issues and disabled<br />
persons. Their aim is to assist people in<br />
making informed decisions about accessing<br />
services or choosing products that will<br />
assist them in their daily lives.<br />
They have taken their services on the<br />
road and out into communities, meeting<br />
people in their environments to make<br />
daily living easier. Aspire Mobile is a<br />
response to the need to reconnect, giving<br />
disabled people easier access to services<br />
and introducing them to new products<br />
which can make their lives more enjoyable<br />
and provide them with a sense of inclusion<br />
in the wider community.<br />
They will show you how to choose a<br />
walker or walking stick that is the correct<br />
height, provide information about both<br />
their services and other resources available<br />
for community, disability and health<br />
organisations.<br />
