Joe's
Inverclyde Council on Disability's
Shopmobility service today toasted support from licensed venue and local night club Tokyo Joe's
after its proprietor Raphael donated £100 towards ICOD's scooter service and a meal for two for the local
service's 1,000th customer.
ICOD's
chairperson Jim MacLeod said: "This was a very generous donation from Raphael .
He has not only donated £100 sponsorship for one of our scooters but also gave a
meal for two to our 1,000th member Alistair McKechnie. Alistair became our
1,000th customer when he hired a scooter during the Tall Ships event to help him
get round the waterfront site. As Mr McKechnie told us without the use of one of
our scooters he would not have managed to have seen the Tall Ships while they
were in Greenock . As our 1,000th member ICOD have given Mr McKechnie a life
time membership."
Tokyo
Joe proprietor Raphael said: "I am only too pleased to support the local
Shopmobility service. The service does a lot of good for many people in
Inverclyde."
Mr McKechnie who recently became
Shopmobility 's 1,000th member said: "The first time I used the scooter service
was when the Tall Ships event was in Greenock . As I find it difficult to get
around now the local service allowed me the chance to get to see all the tall
ships and the other attractions that were on the site. Without theuse of a
scooter I would definately not have got far and would not have seen much at the
event. It is a g really great service."

the opportunity to get out and about independently throughout the
year.

members don't only use the service to go shopping but also use it for every day
activities and even assisting many to go on holiday. It has proven to be a
lifeline to many older and disabled people in
Inverclyde."

Supporters Club are very happy to sponsor one of the Shopmobility scooters. It
is great to see the numbers of disabled people using the scooter service around
