The first Safescoot session took place in Chingford on Saturday 14thApril.

10 participants tested their skills on the obstacle course, positive comments from all participants made it a resounding success.

The event even attracted a unexpected visit from Boris Johnson candidate for London Mayor who happily spoke to participants.

We have two further workshops planned for Saturday 12th May, Epicentre, Leytonstone, and Thursday 21st June at Peterhouse Centre, Walthamstow from 10am - 5pm. All mobility scooter users are welcome as well as anyone thinking of using or buying a scooter.
