Disabled Ramblers & Hampshire RoamAbility
The Disabled Ramblers is a small charity working across England and Wales to help make the countryside more accessible to people with limited mobility – which benefits everyone. They campaign to raise awareness of the needs of people with limited mobility and organise a national programme of rambles for people who use mobility scooters.
Hampshire RoamAbility is a group of disabled ramblers who love rambling in the countryside using mobility scooters. Group walks are organised to ensure safety in numbers, and they encourage family members, friends and other walkers to come along too. The group also gives advice on the choice of scooters for off-road rambling, and campaigns to improve access to the countryside.
