Local Solutions is proud to be at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool this week to provide electric scooters and wheelchairs for delegates with mobility problems to access the conference. This service is being provided through our Shopmobility scheme. The Conference space is huge and there are meetings going on in a range of locations, it’s hard work getting around.
I have spoken to a number of people using our scooters who were all delighted at the service on offer and how accessible the conference was with our support. In one particular chat with two lovely ladies who were using our service and knew Local Solutions, I got asked a question by one about the future of disability benefits, as I began to look slightly blank her friend said, “Well he won’t know, he’s one of the managers”. This was slightly harsh I remarked, but ultimately fair, I didn’t know, but I knew someone who would – our welfare benefits team.
If you require any help with Benefits Advice you can call 0151 705 2365 or 0151 705 2383 and speak to one of our Welfare Rights Service who will arrange an appointment. All calls and advice is confidential.
