- extra Motability profit is given back to customers each year
- customers who borrow power mobility aids can keep them at the end of the loan

People in the rest of the UK need an animal health certificate for every journey they make.
Changing Places at Stations
Northern Ireland staff wanted to know how the other UK nations worked with building rules.
MACS talked about the Changing Places Toilets rules and the map for Scotland.
Cycling Network and Bus Stop Design
MACS want to work with sight loss organisations.
They want to make a group to help design routes for everyone to be able to walk, wheel and cycle.
