A new heavy duty mobility scooter will enable disabled residents in Tiverton to get about with ease thanks to a donation from the Freemasons.

Every Spring and Autumn Freemasons from around Devon meet to give support totalling in excess of £50,000 to charities and organisations throughout the county who are in need of assistance. The Tiverton & District Community Transport Association were one of the groups who were nominated by their lodge St Peter’s Tiverton.
