Move will allow the charity to stock a ‘wider range’ of mobility equipment
Honiton-based community transport charity TRIP is celebrating further expansion in the range of services it provides by opening a new shop.
The premises, in New Street, are next to the main TRIP offices.
Neil Hurlock, manager of TRIP, said the move would allow the charity to stock a ‘wider range’ of mobility equipment and daily living aids, while also providing space for sales, services and repairs to mobility scooters.
Neil said: “This should be a boon to residents, as it will enable them to try out a wider range of equipment without having to travel into Exeter or elsewhere.

“We now have lots more stock to choose from and have negotiated special deals with our suppliers for some new product lines and reduced prices for other items.
“It’s also a valuable source of income for the charity.
