Shopping Club

Accompanied shopping trips to local supermarkets for people aged 65+ living in Restalrig, Lochend and Craigentinny.

Mondays at 12.45pm

Are you struggling to carry heavy shopping on public transport?

Our weekly shopping trip leaves from the Hub at 12.45pm and we spend around an hour in a local supermarket. Shoppers are dropped off at home with help with their bags. Cost £3 per trip.

The group is accompanied by a volunteer who can help with high shelves and loading at the checkout. This is not a referral service and shoppers must have a reasonable level of fitness to walk around the store themselves and safely board a people carrier vehicle. Volunteers won’t directly handle any form of payment on behalf of shoppers but will be on hand to assist at checkout if required.
