A new project will help give mobility-challenged South Taranaki residents some independence.
South Taranaki Funeral Services has teamed up with Mobility and More to develop a free mobility scooter short-term loan project.
South Taranaki Funeral Services owner-operator Glenn Rogers says he understands how hard it is to have a family member in palliative care, living with limited mobility, injury or experiencing tough times.
"So we're doing what we can to make those times a little easier for our community."
He says the short-term use and loan of the mobility scooters must be requested through GPs and support agencies including Lions and Grey Power.
