Upcoming EVENTS with INDEPENDENCE ON WHEELS

Join us for our next adventure! Discover our upcoming safe routes, social meetups, and delicious group lunches designed for mobility scooter users in Exeter and East Devon.

Safe routes and social outings

At INDEPENDENCE ON WHEELS, we focus on three core benefits for our members: safety, socialization, and pure fun. Every Monday and Friday, you can look forward to stress-free, pre-checked paths and a ready-made social life.

What to expect every week:

  • Stress-Free, Safe Routes: Explore places like Heavitree Pleasure Ground with zero anxiety. Every route is pre-scouted for wide, flat tarmac paths and perfectly dropped kerbs. The entire group travels at a relaxed, comfortable scooter pace, ensuring nobody is ever left behind.
  • A Ready-Made Social Life: Every Monday and Friday morning from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM, members roll directly into fully accessible community spaces like Park Life Cafe for warm drinks, sweet treats, and effortless conversation.

Your event at a glance

We've designed our event listings to be incredibly easy to read for people with mobility challenges. Each event notice provides five key pieces of information so you know exactly what to expect.

  • The Activity: A brief description so you know what we're doing. Example: "A gentle 30-minute loop around the park, followed by a cozy social chat over coffee and cake."
  • Exact Meeting Point & Time: The precise location where the group will gather, plus the exact start and end times. Example: "Meet at the main gates on Whipton Lane at 10:30 AM sharp. We finish at 12:30 PM."
  • Route Accessibility Details: A quick reassurance about path conditions and toilets. Example: "100% flat tarmac paths. Zero steep hills. Fully accessible disabled toilets available on site at the cafe."
  • Booking & Sign-Up Status: Clear instructions for RSVPing. Example: "No booking required for this event. Just turn up!"
  • Special Notes: Any extra information you need to know. Example: "Please bring a waterproof jacket in case of light showers."
