Shopping bag and money aids
This section includes equipment to help with carrying shopping and handling money.
Handles that can be attached to plastic shopping bags - these help to spread the pressure of plastic bag handles over a wider area of your hand. You may find these useful if you need to carry shopping bags and have pain or tenderness in the palm of your hand or fingers.
Equipment that provides an alternative way to carry shopping - this includes straps with a bag hook that are worn across your shoulder and back, or a small trolley with wheels that bags can be attached to.
Equipment for identifying/storing notes or coins – this includes coin holders that may assist in the handling of coins if you have limited dexterity or movement in your hands and fingers. A money gauge may help you to identify different bank notes and coins if you are blind or partially sighted. Electronic note detectors which vibrate a certain number of times to indicate a bank note's value (for example three vibrations may indicate a £20 note) are also included.
