Mayor of Teignmouth Presents £983 Donation to TeignMobility.
TeignMobility, the local charity providing mobility scooters and wheelchairs to help disabled people get around Teignmouth, has received a generous donation of £983 from the Mayor of Teignmouth Town Council.
The cheque was presented by the Mayor of Teignmouth, Councillor Cate Williams, along with fellow councillors, to Brian Hamblin, Chair of the Trustees of TeignMobility, on Tuesday 13 January 2026, prior to a council meeting. TeignMobility was chosen as one of the Mayor’s nominated charities for her 2024/25 mayoral year.
Brian Hamblin thanked the Mayor and councillors for their support, saying the donation was “very generous” and would make the running of the charity much easier. He highlighted that TeignMobility relies heavily on volunteers to deliver its services to the community.
TeignMobility operates from its premises in the Quay car park, which have limited opening hours, particularly during the winter months when demand is lower. However, the charity runs a 24/7 phone line and, wherever possible, will open up and supply mobility equipment when it is needed.
Hiring a mobility scooter for the day is a great way to enjoy Teignmouth, from the seafront to the shops and cafés, helping people remain independent and active while visiting the town.
Anyone needing more information or wishing to hire a scooter or wheelchair is encouraged to contact TeignMobility on 01626 777775.
