The Mobility Bureau



The Mobility Bureau is the sole provider of electric powered vehicles (EPV's) to The Royal British Legion.  The Mobility Bureau  provides the mobility solutions to any ex-Service person or their dependants where a need has been identified by a Royal British Legion Caseworker.


When a need has been identified the County Welfare Officer contacts The Mobility Bureau who then tasks an independent Occupational Therapist to visit the client.  Following assessment of the client's mobility needs by the Occupational Therapist, The Mobility Bureau the makes a recommendation to the County Welfare Officer who will then order an appropriate EPV once funding has been met.


The Mobility Bureau will endeavour to source almost any vehicle considered appropriate to the client's needs as identified by the Occupational Therapist.  The most usually supplied are distinctively marked and given model names such as the Cadet, the Legionnaire, the Major, and the Volunteer.


The Mobility Bureau will supply the relevant model of EPV together with any necessary adaptations.  Delivery is carried out by a Mobility Bureau engineer and is both detailed and thorough.  New EPV's come with a three year warranty, servicing and insurance package, which is renewed by the  Royal British Legion on an annual basis at no cost to the client.  Consumables such as tyres, bulbs and batteries are the responsibility of the user.


Class III vehicles, which are EPV's capable of 8 mph, require licensing for use on the road, the necessary documentation is completed by The Royal British Legion.
For ex-Service Men or Women who consider that they are in need of  help and live in Derbyshire they should initially contact the County Manager or the County Welfare Officer on Poppy Support in Derbyshire.
