Scotland: Poppyscotland can help with mobility if you are limited in your daily activities

If you are limited in your daily activities because of a health problem or disability, we can help with practical mobility assistance.

We can arrange for an assessment to be undertaken by an occupational therapist (where statutory funding is not available or where statutory waiting lists are considered to be too lengthy), who will engage with you to understand the impact of your mobility issues and highlight your needs.
