Our top priority has always been customer care and we have gained a reputation for providing the best after-sales support in the area. This has lead to us becoming the most well-known mobility company in Portsmouth and most of our business comes from repeat custom and word of mouth. Our dedication to prompt, local after-sales support has resulted in us being the only mobility company in the area that does not charge for call outs.

We have a friendly, dedicated, specialised team with over 20 years of experience providing a huge range of high quality products including mobility scooters, power chairs, wheelchairs, stairlifts, rise & recline chairs and everyday living aids.

An experienced, skilled youth team offers a weekly youth group in a safe, secure and supportive environment. There are activities each week designed to help to improve self-esteem, give young people a social outlet in which to make new friends and to provide information to support them as they move into adulthood.

Our LGBTQIA+ inclusive Stay & Play Group for parents and children under the age of 5, every Friday afternoon at Northern Parade Family Hub.

This group will be a safe place for families and a chance to connect with families who share the experiences that come with parenting when part of the LGBTQIA+ community,

It will give children a chance to see versions of their own family reflected back at them. There are craft’s, play, messy play, stories and singing facilitated by our trained volunteers.

These services have gone well above and beyond the provision of large print and audio books and have been recognised nationally, receiving the Libraries Change Lives Award in 2003 and in 2023.

The aim is to provide a needs based service to increase the independence and wellbeing of adults who are blind or vision impaired. The work is led by their Vision Impairment Services Officer (who is blind), supported by library staff and volunteers. Most of the users of this service are over 16 years of age. The local authority does provide support in schools for children so most of the library work has been with adults.

Portsmouth Library and Archives have been providing additional services to people with vision impairment for over fourteen years.
