The first Shopmobility scheme opened in 1979 at the then new
Milton Keynes Shopping Centre. By 1987, twenty schemes were running
and moves were made to establish a National Federation of
Shopmobility, UK (NFSUK). By 1991 the number of Shopmobility sites
had increased to thirty-seven.
NFSUK now has 323 affiliated schemes today with many others in the process of starting/ affiliating.
