Littlehampton Shopmobility, which has been serving the needs of the residents and visitors to Littlehampton and surrounding areas for over ten years, has recently been awarded a grant under the Big Lottery's "Awards for All" scheme. The grant is to be used exclusively for improving information technology used by this local Charity.
Barry Leroy-Baker, Chairman, said "This award will enable us to give disabled individuals a better chance in life. The objectives of our Charity are the sale and hire of mobility vehicles and other such items to give freedom of movement to people restricted by lack of mobility. With improved communications we will be able to keep members more informed and may encourage other members to get involved or volunteer in an administration or fundraising capacity as it will assist in developing their computer skills. We will be helping to achieve healthier and more active people and communities as more disabled people will be able to be active and start to enjoy and benefit from being out and about, enjoying the town and its facilities, the beach and river. Individuals may not be aware of the opportunities we provide and the possibilities these open up for them to enjoy."
For more information about Littlehampton Shopmobility, call in to see us at 1-5 St Martins Lane. We are open Monday-Friday 10.00 - 4.00 and on Saturdays from 9.00-1.00. Alternatively telephone us on (01903) 733004 or check our website www.littlehamptonshopmobility.co.uk

Notes to Editors: Big Lottery Fund's Awards for All programme aims to help improve local communities and the lives of people most in need. You can apply to Awards for All only if you are a community group, not for profit group, Parish or Town Council, health body, or school. o Grants ranging from £300 to £10,000 are available to fund a specific project or activity. o The Big Lottery Fund (BIG), the largest distributor of National Lottery good cause funding, is responsible for giving out 46% of the money raised for good causes by the National Lottery. o BIG is committed to bringing real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need and has been rolling out grants to health, education, environment and charitable causes across the UK since June 2004. The Fund was formally established by Parliament on 1 December 2006. o Since the National Lottery began in 1994, 28p from every pound spent by the public has gone to good causes. As a result, over £26 billion has now been raised and more than 330,000 grants awarded across arts, sport, heritage, charities, health, education and the environment. End
